No.

It "seduces" active and passive torpedo sensors by presenting a better target profile. It does not "kill" the incoming weapon, but tries to draw it away from own ship.

US submarines have a variety of torpedo countermeasures and don't need to drag more things behind them. Even a torpedo wire caught in the screw can impact its acoustic performance.
