This was a myth. In my 10 1/2 years in the navy, no submarine carried stinger missiles.

1. A stinger launch would automatically reveal your exact position and had less than optimal chance of success.

2. Even a successful stinger launch would reveal your position. A helo is a small price to pay for a submarine, and escort ships usually had several

3. There is no effective way to target an airborne target from a submarine.

Using a stinger mast was fun in RSR but in no way accurate.
