Not so fast the russians have used rubber propellors on thier Bravo class target submarines but that was because they fired dud torpedos and had them bounce off the hull so if the torpedo did come up the rear there was little chance that the torpedo would fracture or smash apart the metal screw simply because rubber bends.
