About six feet.
Torpedoes aren't like bullets; they have little engines that propel them to their targets. No one wants the engine to start while the torpedo is still in the boat, so the torpedo is shot about six feet out of the tube with a huge burst of compressed air. After it's free of the boat, the engine starts and propels the torpedo as far as it will swim...the Navy's Mk.48 torpedo will go 20 to 30 miles depending on how fast they set it to go.

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.
