I'm sure the seeker isn't slewed to the left, which is what would have to be the case if a torpedo in a right turn was only searching "outside the ring." It searches a cone straight ahead, just like every other torpedo. In a circle search pattern, the cone will include the area both inside and outside of the circle along the torpedo's course, with the size of the area being searched determined by the width of the search cone at maximum acquisition range.
