Most ASMs are not. The C-801/802, Exocet, Silkworm (and relatives), and Harpoon are the most common ASMs in the world. They are all Subsonic.

The Sunburn, Kitchen, Shipwreck, Sandbox are Supersonic and used almost exclusively by the Russian Navy (with the exception of the Sunburn).

The N-27 Sizzler is one of the more common missiles you will encounter in multiplay (Akulas and some Kilos carry it). Its a two stage (technically three stage) weapon. About 5 miles from its target it drops its cruise stage and goes supersonic to defeat CIWS.
