You know, you'd think that would also be able to be simulated in an exercise, otherwise what's the point? Why not just sit back in a classroom?
I know there's plenty of options for battlefield simulations used on land, why not at sea? We probably don't hear about it because a) it's not as "sexy" as the real weapon systems, and b) there's this thing called "classified" that prevents the dissemination of information which may be deemed sensitive.
Edit: A quick search online found multiple references to simulated shots. The simplest being expulsion of water from the tubes - "The force of the blowback of air from two simulated torpedo launches from Canadian Navy submarine HMCS Victoria sends hats, cameras and notebooks flying."
Now if that can't be detected by modern sensors, somebody somewhere has royally screwed up.
