How do torpedoes get loaded in a submarine?

The valve for compressed air is opened. The torpedo can be ejected from its tube. It is important that the air does not fill the tube completely. Instead, the air is vented inboard to prevent a bubble from escaping into the sea. This will allow the surface to reveal the location of the submarine.
