Air cavitation torps are very fast, much closer to 200 versus 20 knots. IMHO Russia has them on the Kursk. Hope we have the equivalent.

Typical countermeasures can collapse the cavitation bubble causing the high speed torpedo to “slam” into the opposite side of the bubble. The problem is getting the countermeasures in play fast enough.
