I think I'm starting to get the picture
I just consolted my Harpoon II, official strat guide, and it
says the harpoon hit rate against a modern AAW-capable warship would be 22:2.
That is, you would need to fire 22 harps to get 2 hits.
And this would have to be on mass, or none would get through.
Also, 37 TASMs have little chance of surviving
a red task forces defensive SAMs and CIWS.
Obviously ludicrous for a Sub to make such an attack.
And I don't think sub's are out there to chase small fry ships.
Plenty else in the fleet to take care of them.
Think I see why they're not in the US Sub fleet now.
