Magnetic torpedo question

Let's say I am directly behind 150 meters long enemy ship in a convoy in a really bad weather - visibility is about 200 meters, so I have no chance to aim a shot properly. But if I fire a magnetic torpedo up his back from those 200 meters, theoretically it should arm itself and explode while still being under the target. Will this work or the torpedo has to be already armed while entering magnetic field of the target ship?
