I'm no expert either, but I have read a little about modern technology. It's my understanding that modern systems can identify a ship by the sound signature. If they can verify the ship type without seeing it then they should be good to fire. All modern torpedoes have homing tech and can find the correct target with relative ease.

We do have some former submariners who could probably verify that this is possible, if not exactly how.
