torpedo caps early so you dont loose much with a low base and a high restore base.
same goes for SSBO dont worry about pot again look for high support stats.
I don't agree fully, but repair/restore stat for torper should be looked at.
Now why i don't agree:
Torpedo reload is affected ONLY by TORPEDO ability. Now to reach the cap faster (which is fast anyways) you should look for +12 torp growth.
The one thing cambsguy overlooked is the weight of torpedo man, which is important for submarine's speed. If you would do what cambsguy said, your sub probably would be slower, but would have 900SD and better rep rate.
But 900SD is easy to have on SS4/SS5s.
Back to the weight of torpedo guys, in order to make my sub faster, i trim my torpedo guys to be just at the torpedo reload cap = torpers has reduced crew = reduced repair and restore abilities. Since my supports provide 900SD already and good rep rate i'm not bothered about reduced repair and "reduced" (still capped) 900SD.
The best torpers would be +13 E/B/V/E with 200 or more vets = when trimmed to torpedo ability cap they would be VERY light, which would give you more space for armour and maybe faster OH or even base speed.
