There was talk of making a variant which would carry a Mk 44 (or maybe later 46) torpedo but this was scrapped due to budget reductions because of the Vietnam war. I have my doubts that SUBROC would be accurate enough to actually accomplish anything with a conventional depth charge. Eventually though the idea of a conventional SUBROC morphed into what became Sea Lance, which never made it out of the cold-war.
