Took 3 years to repair the USS San Francisco nose (crash) wiki says. Um, isn't that where the torps were?

No, on many modern subs (and all of the USN ones, I think) the nose is full of honking big sonar transducers, so the torpedo tubes (and torpedo storage) had to be moved farther aft; the tubes are angled out. This is not ideal but the sonar systems have priority.
