This much is true. Your fine tho

Torpedo,s tend to be one use munitions, once you embed in few metres of adamantium hull, blow the hatch open I strongly doubt you could back one out, and leave via same way

It doesn't make sense that a "torpedo" would be a self-powered, guided vessel, beyond its initial targeting and propulsion units.

I can see them getting back aboard something like an assault shuttle, which is basically a very small, very-heavily-armored ship that tries to go from its mother ship to the enemy vessel as quickly as possible to drop off a boarding party. Then that ship just stays in whatever air-lock, hull-breach or captured landing bay it arrived at until its party returns to disembark or has been killed to a man, so the boarding shuttle turns around and goes back home.
