Did the Tsingtao simulations account for Japanese Type 93 torpedoes cooking off in their launchers?
Short answerNot explicitly, but the danger reinforces the conclusion that the engaged Japanese ships would not escape undamaged.
NotesThe simulation rules did not directly model Type 93 torpedoes cooking off, although Mogami's crew historically jettisoned torpedoes as a protective measure. Loaded launchers were one of several serious secondary hazards once gunfire began landing. A powerful weapon carried topside could become a damage-control liability when the ship was hit.
