I found this difficult to navigate before I decided to maximize the window, then got an idea of where the (torpedos?) were going. Killing sharks needs to be more satisfying however, with either a score tally or other feedback.

I click on it: A java exception has occurred.

I would have bashed you for imposing WASD controls anyway.

Please make sure you are using Java 8 (Yes 8) in order to run this game. I wrote it in 8 without realizing that 8 was in dev. Get Java 8 here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

I didn't really enjoy playing it. It felt kind of clunky and incomplete.

The shooting was way above the sub, I couldn't really figure out how to change the direction of my shooting. I like the graphics style though.

Sorry, can't play it. When I open the jar, I get a java exception right away :(

But I though they were fish...
Nevermind. You can cheat the game by slipping between the lined submarine, and let the game do the rest. You won't crash into another submarines. Also, the shooting bullet are gone when I push the button rapidly. Fix that and your game will be great. Nice game. :)
