Can you provide a link to tube launched SAMs currently deployed? The RN once experimented with Blowpipe MANPADs for a similar role, but to my knowledge no navy

Can you provide a link to tube launched SAMs currently deployed? The RN once experimented with Blowpipe MANPADs for a similar role, but to my knowledge no navy is deploying SAMs on their subs.
Also, don't discount SSNs in terms of ASW. There's a reason that submariners say the best ASW is another sub.
I wouldn't say the USN relies heavily on helicopters for ASW. They don't really rely on anything since they've let these skills atrophy. About the only investment they've made is in the P8. They've shitcanned the S3, shitcanned SOSUS, and will be in a world of hurt if the PRC decides to get serious about subs.
