This sounds unlikely. From what I understand, torpedoes do most of their damage by causing hull flexion of the target ship by exploding underneath rather than punching a hole in the hull itself. An incredibly heavy, inflexible hull seems like it would be easier to crack as opposed to some material that has the ability to bend and absorb shock. I'm not an expert either so hopefully one of our naval folks will come in and clear it up.
