Whats with the aft tubes?

From a theoretical and safety (of the ship and crew) standpoint, it would actually be beneficial to have ALL tubes AFT. This would allow you to lay and wait for your prey, fire off a salvo, then immediately be able to leave as directly as possible.

Having tubes foreward requires a sub to fire at their target, then evade by first moving CLOSER to the target while turning away. I know if it was my arse on the line, I would prefer to have the immediate exit rather then having to turn away as my ship is being hunted....
