DM or anyone know how to calculate AA and Secondaries?

[TheMackster]

Read through a lot of older posts but I can't find any mention about how to calculate AA or Secondary dice for ships.

Can't find anything on #dice for torpedoes either but not really worried about that right now.

So, anyone know how to calculate AA and Secondaries for ships?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about AA and secondary armament, but I think I know how the torpedoes work. The # of attack dice appears to correspond to the # of torpedo tubes divided by 2, while the # of damage dice depends on the size and effectiveness of the torpedo's warhead. For example, the Royal Navy's Tribal-class destroyer had four 21" torpedo tubes; it has two attack dice and four damage dice.

However, there are some exceptions. The Japanese Kagero-class destroyers had eight torpedo tubes, but get five attack dice; also, the British and American 21" torpedoes get one more damage die than the 21" torpedoes of other nationalities. Presumably this is allowing for the Torpex explosive developed by the British.
