Yes. This could simulate conductivity loss, which is probably variable in real life based on the specific conditions of the ocean, but random based on range would be good enough in game, since range is the only thing we really care about in gameplay terms (as opposed to water temp and salinity).

This rarely, if ever, happens but could this be implemented ?
Possibly... I can reference ownship course and bearing to the torpedo, as well as ownships angle off the bow of the torpedo. I should have enough tools to do the math.
