"I've read that there is like only one instance where BB's torpedos actually hit something."

HMS Rodney claimed a hit on Bismarck. if so, that is the ONLY instance where one battleship torpedoed another. Many early (WWI era) BBs had torpedoes, and almost all of them had them removed prior to WWII. Gunfire ranges were longer, the torpedoes either compromised the armor/water-tight integrity of the ship, or were a horridly vulnerable area topside. The USN took it a step further and pulled torpedoes from cruisers as well, something that no other country felt the need to do.
