I’ve always thought a navy ship could have arms extending from each side, out say 20′ or so that holds some sort of draping system, like a chain or something, that extends below the bottom of the hull. Then, if a sub fired a torpedo at it, it would either explose on the chain or just get caught up in it.

The submarine will just get toasted crowd is overstating things a bit. Subs still represent the most lethal and likely threat from a country like Iran using them against the US Navy. It’s a safe bet that any carrier fleet has anti sub submarines in the area and they are definitely establishing a sub free zone around the carrier using helos and picket ships. Picking off escorts or sinking random ships away from the carrier protection is definitely a threat from modern diesel electric subs.
