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.

Modern torpedos often don’t actually strike the hull of the ship. They well detonate a short distance below the hull to create a cavity/vacuum that will break the keel of the ship. The chains or curtain, which I think is a good idea, would have to extend pretty far down and they would have to be sufficiently heavy and secure as the torpedos might not detonate on impact
