The USN airdropped torpedo, Mk 13, was steam. AFAIK, so are other nations arial torps. Even if they wanted to make an electric version, the batteries would be heavy and have poor power/weight performance characteristics. Besides, while they might not be able to see the torpedo, they can certainly see the plane that drops it.
