I guess it's a useful idea in that it can potentially buy a SSK time before a companion ASW platform is available - but one would think its life expectancy having successfully deployed a system is severely curtailed in nearly all scenarios anyway, that's assuming that launch of the system itself does not provide the asset it's tasked with destroying the required signal and window to track and engage..

That’s why no one has deployed one yet. Might save you if you are up against a single ASW helicopter that is out of range of its surface support. Suicide otherwise.

I guess they don't.  Sorry, not a "modern" SSN guy.
