  1. 1. When confronted with the problem of the Type 93 torpedo being too big for their submarine designs to use, why did the IJN develop smaller Long Lances instead of bigger submarines? They were far from averse to giant submarines as it was... 2. Why did the Porters and Somerses use single-purpose 5"/38s rather than the quick-firing version of the 5"/51, given the 5"/38's inferior long-range ballistics against surface targets and the lack of the need for a surface-action-only turret to elevate and train anywhere near as rapidly as a dual-purpose turret (thus greatly reducing the severity of the need to minimize the turret's rotational inertia by using shorter-barrelled guns)?
