Boy, that would one Mell of a Hess. I wonder if they would see the humor of dropping leaflets that read "COW-A-BUNGA, DUDES. SURFS UP !!!" Before the BOOM !!!

As bad as that thing is, a conventional torpedo wouldn’t bother it. And nobody uses air dropped torpedoes against surface targets anyway - not when antishipping missiles are cheaper, faster and lighter.

Hitting the Three Gorges dam from the upstream side with a couple nuclear tipped airlaunch BraMos missiles set to subsurface burst would be a better course of action. Honestly, I’d expect India to do that in the event of their Godzilla Threshold getting crossed, just to give China something else to think about.
