SnakeRiverPirate:How would you get it out of the U Boat? It would seem that it would take torching off 2 sets of doors and finagling it out the firing port. I don't even know what it would take to get it out the loading port on a sub.
They stored extra torpedoes in craddles outside the pressure hull but inside the outer hydrodynamic hull. In the example I offered, the torpedo was clearly visible on the outside of the wreck. Still a significant recovery, as I believe those fish weighed quite a bit.
