They most definitely don't. P-torps use the FB1 P-torp rule, not any
fighter-related rules.

The "heavy single-shot anti-ship weapons" carried by Torpedo Fighters
aren't necessarily P-torps - indeed, the Torp Fighter descriptions in
both MT and FB2 very carefully do *not* use the term "Pulse Torpedo" to
describe the weapon.
