Has any mod for HOI4 come out that would let me put torpedoes on battleships?

I don't think so.

Personally I just want to fill a battleship with destroyer-caliber guns.

I just want to be able to make historically accurate designs. As many of the battleships and heavy cruisers had torpedoes at the time. The Tirpitz, Arizona, Hyūga, Nagato, Queen Elizabeth, Revenge, Deutschland and Tirpitz to name a few. There was a general trend at the time to believe in the fact that a giant ship with giant guns and enough displacement to carry said guns and their ammo could also carry some quite nasty torpedoes to augment that.

Update. I have managed to experimentally add superheavy battleship cannons to a carrier. So it can be done and quickly.

Much fun shall ensue for this.

I am open to ideas. And yes, I do intend to mod my self in a sub aircraft carrier and a sub battleship as well as those zany battleship-carrier hybrids with both a flight deck and main guns.

Yet somehow the americans who tended to be allergic to adding torpedoes to anything bigger than a destroyer were regarded as having the best cruiser designs of the war.

When you work really hard to develop a dynasty but it's all ruined because Paradox apparently decided that giving Viking characters 5k event troops was remotely fair to players.

No wonder a lot of people only play this game for the mods.
