edit: I am confused, because wikipedia seems to say that group one boats had 10 forward facing tubes: eg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Trident_(N52) - which says "6 internal forward facing torpedo tubes
4 external forward facing torpedo tubes"
But here: http://home.cogeco.ca/~gchalcraft/sm/TClass.html
Torpedo Tubes: Ten 21"
(8 forward, 2 amidships)
Surely those tubes amidships were rear tubes? So are the wikipedia entries incorrect? |
If you read further on after the three group tables:

They were also refitted with a reduction of two internal bow tubes and the removal of two of the three aft-facing external tubes, leaving six bow tubes and one external after tube.
