Mine Warfare
1890: long stick and Very Slow Forward. Hand detonated mines
1900 Baseline (0): primitive paravanes and dragged booms behind small vessels.  Horn mines.
1908: Advanced (+1): advanced paravanes, active charges. Reliable horn mines, early antenna mines.

An armor tech not related to the metallurgical aspects of the main tree, and not required as a pre-requisite to later techs on that main tech tree:

1912 Sloped external belts; "All or Nothing" Protective Schemes

1890 Primitive (-2) : 800m@26kts range, 50kg warhead (-1 dam.), compressed air 0.5t, 16" dia.
1890 Dated (-1): 1200@26, 400@35, 100kg warhead (+0 dam.), compressed air 0.5t, 16"

1928: (+12)Reliable Oxygen Torpedoes (aka Long Lance Torpedoes, double time tech)

These are max capabilities. If there's a historical torpedo with less weight and lower performance, you can use that.

*Note that a submarine of the 1920 tech level or newer may carry any mix of mines and torpedoes at a 1-2 ratio. So a sub might for instance carry a total of 20 torpedoes and no mines, or a total of 40 mines and no torpedoes, or a total of 10 torpedoes and 20 mines, etc.
