I’m just a lay person in this, but aren’t we in an era where you can image anything on the surface of the earth and hit it with a missile? Seems like if you are going to use a sub to find a ship to shoot it with a torpedo, you might as well use a satellite to find a ship and have something hit the ship from orbit and not have to send out a sub with 200 people on it to do so. Could do it all from a bunker on shore. Or maybe I misunderstand how easy it is to fire arbitrary missiles or scan the sea with satellites.
