In theory, I could have left the torpedoes onboard - Springsharp doesn't really force me to remove them - but they're not really adding much to the ship's mission-centric capabilities at the moment. But I figure that by the time I'm done adding the extra gear to the rebuilt ship, it would be more logical to replace them.
