They actually did that during the war. The USS Tang sunk herself when a torpedo cam around.
During WWII were there no failsafe's on torpedos as there are today?

I know that if the call comes out of a hot running torpedo the Skipper immediately turns 180 degrees to trigger the fail safe. And I know they had that technology as early as the 1950s
