Sub-Launched SAMs

I always thought sub-launched SAM's were a bad idea, since they give away the position of the launching sub. *But the idea refuses to die. Why? My theory is because they know that in general, P-3s and other ASW air assets work alone. I know, I know, we practice all sorts of combiney type ops, but in the real world, the only times I ran into Soviet submarines, we were the only thing local. Blow us out of the sky and you'd have at least an hour or so to deep and go hide. For sub hunters of my era (1970s-1990), the Kilo with its SUBSAM and the probable fitting to the later Victor IIIs and Akulas were a real cause for concern. v/r Gordon |
