Take any calculation of a bigger airborne warhead IRL, for example FAB-250 or RBK-250, in the air where there is not almost no density, the shrapnel can reach about 400+ meters away, but the blast and expansive wave's real damage is about the range of 200-300 yards. Now, any explosion in the water, is more difficult to reach farest targets due the density of the water, and the pressure depending the depth where the bomb exploded.

In WWII the depth charges had from 400-3000 pounds (400 pounds were the used in mortars) but even with this payload, the explosion should be close to the sub to make a real damage.
