No , No , ...

The fractal comparator riding in the nose of the torpedo, picks up the exhaust tachyon signature and follows it into the port, then the fire control holds detonation while the thing richochet down the tubes. They never really make it all the way down , they strike the first bend in the exhaust flume , about 1/2 way to the center. This happens to be the layer of the Station where all the cooling radiators meet the gaps within the Power generating center.  So, as the torpedo strikes the radiators, mechanical failure of the structures that connect the center to the outer layers across this void collapse toward the center , crushing the radiators and in turn exploding the cooling lines and containers , further contributing to the destruction of the center power reactor within minutes.
