Torpedo nets were effectively used for the first time during the battle of Port Arthur on 08 February 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War.

Today, the main defense against acoustic homing torpedoes are decoy active noisemakers, which attempt to mimic a ship's sounds, and lure the torpedo away from the ship or submarine which it was targeted at.

In terms of passive defense, surface ships use a variety of noise-masking technologies to make it difficult for the torpedo to "hear" the ship, as well as de-magnetizing the ship's hull to defeat a magnetic fuse on the torpedo. Submarines use a variety of hull coatings to absorb sonar soundwaves from torpoedo's seeker warhead, and also can utilize maneuvers in the water to generate unusual sounds, which may confuse the torpedo's guidance.
