Hi Chris,
The answer is both. BTW the type IX had 2 stern tubes side by side. With the type VII and IX in a night surface attack it was favourite practice of Cdrs. to pick targets for single and multiple bowshots first when breaking into a convoy. Then, after turning to exit, shoot at other targets with stern tube(s) retreating for a reload. Rgds, RB
