In the engagement with the other U-Boat, U-571 fires four torpedoes in quick succession without taking on trim water, yet the U-Boat does not change depth or trim. Each torpedo weighted from 1.5 to 2 tons. The sudden removal of that weight would cause a submarine's bow to move upwards if not countered. This is one reason why normal practice was to space the firing of torpedoes by 8 to 10 seconds, which allowed the submarine to take on water to compensate for the lost weight.
