A '''torpedo bay''' is the area of a [[starship]] in which [[torpedo]]es are stored, and the [[torpedo launcher]] can be accessed by personnel. In the bay, torpedoes are removed from storage and placed into the [[torpedo tube]]s immediately prior to launch.

The compact torpedo bay of the refit {{ShipClass|Constitution}} {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-A|-A}} was located on [[Constitution class decks|Deck 13]]. In [[2293]], [[Captain]] [[Spock]] and [[Doctor]] [[Leonard McCoy]] entered the torpedo bay, where they modified a [[photon torpedo]] to track the engine emissions left by [[General]] [[Chang (General)|Chang]]'s [[prototype]] [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey]]. When modifications were complete, they loaded the torpedo manually into its firing tube. ({{film|6}})

A torpedo bay is the area of a starship in which torpedoes are stored, and the torpedo launcher can be accessed by personnel. In the bay, torpedoes are removed from storage and placed into the torpedo tubes immediately prior to launch.
In the alternate reality, the torpedo bay of the USS Enterprise was operated manually by members of the crew. Two launcher cannons were accessible and six torpedoes could be simultaneously loaded into the torpedo tubes of a cannon. (Star Trek)
The two torpedo launchers on both sides of the bay were called cannons in the script of Star Trek. [1]
Although only two distinct forward torpedo tubes are seen on the refit USS Enterprise, bays labeled 3 and 4 were seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
