I don't know about the US torpedos, but Russian "Shkval" with a weigh of 2,7 tons and a speed of 370 km/h (I bet your car can't move such fast), penetrates through any submarine or ship even if it's not detonated. That's why they call it an aircraft carrier killer.
P.S. As an offtopic one more toy which can be used to attack anything from below the water and above - a flaying torpedo which can be equipped with a tactical nuke warhead (no analogues in NATO):
