There's a story from the USS Drum (now a museum ship in Mobile, Alabama) that the skipper eventually gave up trying to get his crew to stop drinking the torpedo juice, and just ordered them to leave enough alcohol for a 1,500 yard range (out of 4,500yd or 9,000yd at slower speeds). Their success rate actually went up as a result, because they were making shots from much closer in.

( the filter story is also told about toast) Experiment here - https://youtu.be/_A8AErdGz20?t=248 https://youtu.be/_A8AErdGz20?t=248
