So... uhhh... what happened to its warhead?

Could have hit its target and failed to detonate damaging the torp.
Could have lodged in the mud and the current broke the torpedo off of the warhead.
Could have rusted the warhead retaining bolts right off.
I remember a few years back the Navy found a Japanese long lance torpedo
stuck in the mud outside of pearl harbor and its warhead was barely hanging on and still live!
