Just how would you do that? ("That" being perform TMA on, say, a 40+ Kt broadband noise maker that the other guy shot at a point in space and time that hopefully will intercept your original course and speed extended in a predicted location.)
In my world when we detected an exercise torpedo, we got a bearing, a description, a guess as to closeness, and we immediately followed Torpedo Evasion Protocols depending on
relative bearing on which weapon was detected. (Neither me nor anyone else here has ever been on the receiving end of a war shot.)
In the real world, it ain't gonna happen.
