Sorry about the hand, L&L. They say most accidents happen within 50 miles of home - was this "most"??
Torpedo: Those long quarterdeck mid-watches provided time for "practice" - one way was (C4) to turn the Mil 90 degrees (butt out), jam it in and pull it out. Well, it comes out cocked, but without a mag, who knows whether it chambered or ...
It was pretty fast ... if you got the flap out of the way okay.
Can't say it was safe at C3 jamming in and C1 drawing out. We'll get some comments, I'm sure.
