I think it might be the launch and Mk 37's swim out isn't working properly though I'm not entirely sure.

I've had a Mk37 on a wire in a stern chase with a November which is just fast enough to outrun it. I had the torpedo on active so I switched it to passive and the November immediately began to turn allowing the torpedo to catch up and hit it.

That would assume the November could only hear it in the baffles when it was active. Having said that it was a pretty dumb thing to do. Active or not I wouldn't be turning my sub till I heard it detonate.
