Oh, EXCUSE ME!!!!!  I'm not trying to be rules lawyer here!!  I just
wanted to make sure that I am NOT screwing my friends over when I play
using the Torpedo ships I like to field.  I just got the feeling that
when
I read the rules closely that in a battle I had just fought that I had
used my cruiser badly by firing both torpedo tubes a one target with one
FireCon and firing the "B" battery at another target with the other
FireCon.  That's all.  I apologise if I have taken your reply the wrong
way, but that's how it feels.
