Do understand correctly? Are you asking how the torpedo knows which way is up once it is fired into the ocean?
Both MK 48 and ADCAP have internal gyros that tell the weapon where to go as well as how to correct for changes in pitch and roll. The only caveat is that significant pitch/roll deviations will result in an internal shutdown before the weapon enables.
