As I recall the last sinking of a warship with a submarine launched torpedo was during the Falklands war when a British submarine sank the Argentine cruiser Adm. Belgrano.

Right! Further the Belgrano was formerly WW II era light cruiser USS Phoenix (CL-46).

Didn’t a North Korean sub torpedo a South Korean destroyer sometime in the last 90s early 2000s?

BINGO!

It was the first use of a torpedo by the USA to sink an enemy vessel since WWII (that is publically acknowledged)!
