As in real life, once torpedoes are off the wire, or "fire and forget" missiles are in the air, they are marked To Whom It May Concern. They will keep going until they encounter a target or run out of fuel.

Again in real life, there are some missile systems which allow you to command-detonate the weapon, but generally these are anti-air systems where the missile has a constant radio downlink to the launcher. This is obviously impractical for a submarine as it would need to keep an antenna above the water.
