Torpedo nets against explosive surface drones

Would an old-fashioned torpedo net work against explosive uncrewed boats attacking ships at anchor?

Probably; it would force an attacker to get beneath or through the barrier and make the attack harder.

Nets could obstruct explosive surface craft attacking ships at anchor and force the attackers to change their approach. A drone might need to dive beneath the barrier or find a way through it, adding difficulty to the attack. A modern ship could deploy its net automatically when it stopped in port. Covers or hatches could conceal the stowed equipment to preserve the hull's radar profile. The historical comparison extends to a heavy chain across an anchorage, with Constantinople's harbor defenses offered as an example. Simple passive barriers could be reconsidered alongside newer defensive systems.
