To be honest, its over glamoured, if this weapon is anything like the russian built skhval there realy isnt alot to worry about.
The kilo's cant load it out because the tubes are not designed for them and never have been (unless that was why they sent them for upgrade).
The new submarines as xabba said are nothing more than glorified sang O's ie very small submarines and id doubt they could loud out this weapon it would be A too big B to advanced C take up too much space and personaly id say they would have to enlarge the submarine from the pictures i have seen.
As for ship launched via a missile boat, well im sure that one of thier PTG isnt going to get any closer than 30 miles to a CVBG especialy if they have an aegis ship in it, the iranians will be blown out of the water longbefore they got into range.
The missile torpedo itself, eats fuel and will have an max range of only 10 or 11 miles at tops. even at 200knots the torpedo cant use sonar its straight runningso a ship only has to turn.
Fire it from a submarine well bit like going to mount everest with the worlds loudest megaphone and screaming down it at the top of your lungs, you will inform everyone in the entire persian gulf if not further that you are there.
