What Psystemic said. Even Kongou in her original configuration had 8 submerged 533 mm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes in real life. As well as some early American dreadnaughts like Texas but they were all hull mounted like most submarines.

They later got rid of them in in remodels and didn't equip them on new BBs in favor of maxing their artillery power since their usefulness on a battleship was pretty low. Tirptiz only had them because she was planned to be a commerce raider and sinking supply ships by chasing them down and launching torpedoes is by far a better option than using big guns.

Expect Tirpitz to have the torpedo stat when she's introduced in game on at least kai and be able to equip them without the use of BP's.
