If the ship would double its speed it would reach the impact point faster than the torp and you would miss. if you have misjudged the range to the target so that it is double the actual distance, and are using it to calculate the speed you will get a result two times higher than actual because it would have travelled double the distance it actually has, and you will miss. The range doesnt matter, because at right angle the torpedo will always hit the ship as long as you have right speed. The only things that matter are the torpedo speed, ship speed and ships bearing. hope I explained this well enough

You guya re right, i did the calculations and they will no intercept, you have to get right the measurements.
