The thing with SAM:s on subs is that when a missile comes out of the water anyine knows that the launch platform is close to the site. Good radars, surface search, are mounted on subs, so thats not a problem. The problem is that if you use it, people with ESM will get your bearing, and for a sub, stealth is its best bet.

Yes, but better to use it as a chance to defeat that immediate threat, that has probably arleady aquired you, and then take your chances that you can evade the threats coming in from a distance, than to let that immediate threat prosecute right on top of you and call in the other wolves anyway.
