I overlooked the rather important requirement for some numbers to use with the Amphion Class submarine, HMS Alliance, that I am deploying in the next Naval Command scenario. A quick post on the Naval Command Facebook Group (thanks chaps!) and I now have a profile for the modernised A Class submarines of the early 1960's.
Surface Speed 5
Submerged Speed 4

Noise Rating (N) 8

Armament - 16 unguided torpedoes (6)
There's a bit of a debate about the torpedoes used, either unguided MkVIII**, the sonar guided Mk20 Bidder or the wire guided Mk23 Grog, but I've gone for the first option if only because the Mk23's were apparently pretty unreliable and only of restricted range, which limits them a bit too much in game terms. I'm hoping that HMS Alliance won't have to use them anyway, as it's very much a cloak and dagger operation in which she's supposed to stay undetected!
