Hopefully not? The Mk 48 wouldn't present any problems, technically, but imagine firing an Mk 37 at 25+ knots...

I'd rather we got a warning that "we can't fire at this speed", like when trying to fire Mk 16s or missiles when your boat's too deep.

Just being pedantic here but I think it would be cool to have both a la Tupolev in Red October "No captain, we can't do that!" (Does it anyways) "You arrogant ass, you've killed US!"

Well I think this will just result in a lot of self kills. The swim-out speed of the mk37 is only 16 knots anyways. I've killed myself with these things by going 20 knots and forgetting to slow down. Wasn't even turning. All of a sudden.....explosion at the bow. Although if the game modeled safeties this wouldn't be an issue but it's not that big of a deal with me.
