How can I verify my torpedo runs?

I am currently making my way west through the English channel to get to my assigned patrol grid. I am in a Type IIA out of Wilhelmshaven. It is late 1939. I am using the Grey Wolves mod.
My first torpedo launch in my first patrol with GW was a lovely success, sinking a steamer in one go. Now, on my third patrol, I launched 3 eels against a large cargo vessel and - nothing. I thought perhaps my solution was bad, so I lined it up again and - nothing. I then decided it might be low-running ordinance, so I tried again, setting the depth well above the bottom of the keel. I also skipped the TDC, drawing within 600 meters and using point-and-shoot (I grew up with a rifle in my hands, so I'm really more comfortable with that, anyhow). Again, nothing happened. I tried twice more; there's no way I missed all those shots. I could even trace the wakes of the eels right to the target and at least two shots were perfect M.O.T.s. I suppose it's possibe that all three were duds

, but I want to see if that's the case. I'm playing at 100% realism and need to know - is there a way to turn on the event camera in the middle of a patrol? I don't see it, but maybe I just don't know where to look.
Thanks, fellow Kapitans.
