Beware!

Mount entries 59971 and 60002, 533mm TT 11356 port and stb, are equipped not with 2xSET-65M torpedoes, but with 10xSET-65M each!

I don't doubt about some 16 or 20xSET-65M reloads on internal magazines, but 20xSET-65M on mounts is a little overwhelming!

(Discovered when testing a new scenario, attacking a Russian formation of 2xAdmiral Grigorovich-class frigates, my poor German-designed diesel-electric submarine was targeted instantly with 40xSET-65M ASW torpedoes).

Some considerations on UK submarines weapons capability, from more recent sources (DB updated last time 9/2017).

Long weapons (heavy torpedoes, missiles) capability by classes, added magazines and torpedo tubes (as reflected in South Atlantic War book, torpedo tubes are usually employed to store weapons):

Upholder, Victoria SS: 18 is ok.

Dreadnought SSN: 25, should be 30.

Valiant, Churchill SSN: 26, should be 32.

Swiftsure SSN: 21, should be 25.

Trafalgar SSN: 25, should be 30.

Astute SSN: 28, should be 38.
