If true is the first instance i have read that happening.At 2015 the ships of Operation TIGER had reached a position north of Cap Bone where in accordance with the plan Force B was to reverse course.
At the same time the Force was attacked without any radar warning, by three SM 79 torpedo bombers flying at wave top height, which made their targets the RENOWN and ARK ROYAL. One SM 79 was hit by AA fire and turned away but the other two continued towards the RENOWN and ARK ROYAL. Each aircraft dropped two torpedoes. Through the brilliant ship handling both captains managed to avoid all the torpedoes
Due to altitude and the year 1941 this can't be mixed with circular run FFF torpedo.
