They were empty external torpedo tubes.It the caps were shut and the tube not flooded it would effect the bouyancy.
PS The ideal buoyancy for a boat is NEUTRAL when dived.

Both interesting clips. The commentary on the second one sounds like Eamonn Andrews.

I'll have you know I was in Artemis (after conversion and just before sinking.)

Huw is having problems viewing the two Fb clips, He uses an Apple laptop, would this be the cause?
