LOL FORBIN while it might look as quibbling to you, in fact the problems SamuraiBlue mentioned would likely have eaten up the profit of the Japanese

The truth of the matter is Jura that the Japanese did bother. Right up to the point of sending a Soryu for a port visit to Sydney recently in a last ditch effort to clinch the deal. Japan was interested in winning the contract, regardless of what some believe.

Yes no article about this missile in English in Wikipedia but good in general in French more easy for me :) in more and in English it is quite decent in general and more specialized sites are not always the best.

Air launched missiles are simpler don't need a booster and in more with altitude have a superior range in general much complex others variants for ships again more sub's missiles encapsulated.

Submarine hidden ofc but especialy the last generation very extremely difficult to detect but much more easy when he fired especialy missiles coz the height of the missile above the submarine/surface before it takes its altitude, a launch of torpedoes is more quiet mainly an air noise with TL.

They are very different that ships special tactics for them.
