Some battle accounts credit ships fitted with a quadruple torpedo mount with firing six or seven torpedoes. A separate early-war training account implies eight when its figures are worked through. A torpedo storage point also exists in the evidence under consideration. Those details suggest additional torpedoes beyond the official four, but a complete reload would take substantial space. No explicit source has been found to prove that full reload arrangement. The eight-torpedo inference must therefore remain distinct from the reported battle expenditure.

Did Tribal-class destroyers carry unofficial torpedo reloads?
Reports of six or seven torpedoes fired raise a reload question, but the evidence for a complete second set remains unresolved.
