Only if the airplane is in the water. Torpedos are water weapons and seldom, if ever, get airborne. Their propellers don't work in the air.

Which Navy was the first to fire a torpedo to a target from a submarine?

"Shooting" a torpedo is the proper term; the word "Fire" means only one thing aboard a submarine, and it has nothing to do with launching weapons.While the Nordenfelt-designed Turkish submarine Abdülhamid (1886) was the first submarine in the world to shoot a torpedo while submerged, it did not shoot at a designated target.The first submarine credited with shooting a torpedo underwater at a designated target (albeit a missed shot) was the Royal Hellenic Navy's (Greek) submarine Delfin, on December 22, 1912. The Delfin was shooting at the Ottoman light cruiser Mecidiye, at a range of 800m.
