I had premature explosions too, but far away from the sub.

I remember the memories of the captain Johaness Spiess, he experienced a torpedo detonation inside the torp tube, they was at dock, the ship sinks in few meters waters, all crew at the other side of the internal pressure firewall survive, only ground crew performing maintenance operations on trpedos dies.
They was rescued lot of hours later using a heavy crane, ship cant go to surface by own capacity.
