In 1904, in a competition to investigate how rapidly submerged tubes could be fired four times sequentially, starting with the tube loaded and the bar out, the ship's crew was able to do this in 7 minutes, 5.5 seconds. The best time was achieved by Cressy at 50.75 seconds, though 2:30 was more typical.[17]
