  1. ASROC was interesting, but only useful with a nuke on board. otherwise, they should've stuck to Hedgehog--not Squid. My reason for this? All Soviet era warships had RBU units on them. Far cheaper, easier to reload, and just as effective, as an ASROC launched against a suspected opponent. Cost per salvo: ASROC: 1 million USD. Hedgehog: 1200 USD. Chance of a hit on a suspected sub? The same. If they wanted to employ genius, instead of engineering, they would've put a half dozen Sonobouys in an ASROC, rather than a Depth chage (N) or a Mark 48. Unfortunately, they never asked a Snipe for advice on modern weapons systems. Guess I should've struck for GM.
