German U-Boats required a block and tackle to load torpedoes and were greased since they weighed up to 950 lbs and there are no rollers in the torpedo tube. Reference movie Das Boot for realism. When this U-Boat loaded their torpedoes for the attack, they just pushed it in by hand. with no grease or block and tackle. When the last crewman, who was to close the tube door, saw the torpedo was still sticking out, he pushed it in by himself. A VERY light torpedo indeed.
