The "Cutie" torpedo is supposed to home in on the sound of a ships's props, but it has a maximum speed of only 12 knots and you better make sure you're own sub remains quiet. You could find yourself at the receiving end if it starts to home in on you.

Trying to aim any other torp at a ship's prop makes little sense to me since the propeller area of the ship is a much smaller target than the vessel's entire broadside. The smaller the target area, the less room there is for error.
