Maybe, but with velocities that low it sure as hell won't make round hole. Still, I am not convinced that it would penetrate sub's hull or might not even ship's. Of course depending about ship, as for example ships for ice conditions are naturally much more hardy. Ice doesn't move that fast, but the pressure is much more.
For comparison: WWII torpedoes like G7a moving 74 km/h and weighting 1,5 tonnes, did just bounce of from ship's hull if not detonated.
