Anti-terrorist equipped sub load

This recent Somalia attack has mee thinking. What's do you think would be a *minimal* submarine loadout for a anti-terrorist mission?

I'm thinking:
Special forces
5 ELINT UUVs (currently in concept phase development)
5 Anti-mine UUVs
12 TLAMS (Eventually upgraded to RATTLRS)
6 torps

Seems like the most important component would be the TLAMS. That way you sit a ready sub off the coast of every nation with suspected terrorist cells and hover. Then you wait for a terrorist leader sighting and launch immediately. The rest of the loadout are for just in case some ELINT snooping, anti-mine for terrorist mines, or anti-shipping for smugglers comes up while on patrol, waiting for the signal to strike.

Sounds like a plan?
