On the subject of ASW, is it really that hard and difficult of a warfare? I mean granted the enemy sub is not going to make it easy for you to hunt and sink it that's for sure. But from most sources I read, it depicts that the best and most surest way to hunt an enemy sub is by deploying your own sub. Anything else, even a surface ship fully armed and equipped for ASW, is at a distinct disadvantage ( I am excluding MPA aircrafts here). Bar deploying a ASW helicopter, a submarine is almost always going to detect the surface ship first regardless of what the surface ship does. And once the sub fires a torpedo, the surface ship is basically screwed.
Now I know that by default a submarine is always going to be quieter then a surface ship, and advances in torpedo technologies has made them even more deadly then before. But is it always a lopsided engagement for say a Type 54A frigate when it is tasked to hunt a Los Angeles sub or something of the like ?
