[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Those Merchant steam ships are very nice indeed. I love ships of that type with the tall engine vents, tall funnels and often bluff bows. They were the work horses of the era and lasted when they were not sunk well into the next era and the advent of diesel engines. ...even tho coaling ship was no easy task and took days sometimes.

Though Capital ships some of them did have Torpedo launching equipment in practice it was almost never used. They were just too slow to be able to use them effectively and were not considered in tactical planning. So it is not really necessary for them to have them added to the mod if the maker does not want to.

The nets were somewhat more effective but not as useful as first thought and were very cumbersome and vulnerable to damage when at sea. The North Sea is very rough at times and often the nets were damaged on ships of all sizes that carried them. They were also very vunerable to the effects of weather and seawater over time and were a constant source of work for the crews and worry for the officers and non commsioned officers.
