  1. An old Sergeant said, "The only thing worse than cowering in a hole when someone is lobbing artillery shells at you is cowering without a hole when someone is lobbing artillery shells at you." Just a guess but being inside a ship taking non penetrating hits is very similar.

  2.  @johnshepherd8687  I would not bet against them firing harpoon missiles out of the torpedo tubes.

  3.  @johnshepherd8687  Why would you think they would not be carrying anti-ship weapons? They have to survive long enough to get into position.

  4.  @johnshepherd8687  Harpoon missiles are longer ranged and move a lot faster. Also it would not take a lot of modifications to make them engage airborne anti-submarine platforms. I have not seen the Navy admit to doing so but that doesn't mean they haven't. Remember that even if the plane manages to outrun out distance the missile it gives the boat a fare amount of time to escape as well.
