FYI torp max ordnance isn't 20, that's just the most you can 'purchase' at one time. So to build it up just buy 20, then 20 more, etc. Not sure how the SW handles the indicator if there are not enough torps to go 'around'. Pretty sure it'll still fly a reduced number of planes to use available torps. At least it does on carriers. Try expanding your torp capacity to fill all A/C at the base and see what the indicator does.

Click each HQ's 'Show unit TOE' button, the 'Torpedo Ordnance' text changes to yellow.
Click that yellow text to bring up a dialog, enter the # of torps you want the HQ to keep in stock. You're changing the HQ's OOB.
When torps from your purchased total get expended, the HQ will auto-purchase new torps, if the base has enough supply. This beats the heck out of checking & manually purchasing torps every day, 'cos you just know that you'll have forgotten to do so just as it becomes very important!

IIRC there's also a thing, that if you use air or sea to transport the HQ, it'll lose its on-hand torps, but presumably not its edited re-purchase ability. So it'll re-up its torps after it's unloaded into its destination. Dunno if this depends on being in combat status or not.

Also IIRC, HQ fragments have no torp-supply capability, so it's no good to try to split up an HQ to increase the 'coverage' of torp availability to a wider area.

Just more proof that you are continually learning new stuff with this game. This I missed somewhere. Thanks jmalter[:)]....GP

When checking through your HQs to purchase torps, you can manually purchase them as rustysi posted, in groups of max 20 at a time. But you're not done yet!
