Canada seeks to buy Long Range Precision Rockets (probably US MLRS or HIMARS)

Subs move, so even a hypersonic missile 1000km away is going to miss the target.

Unless, perhaps, it can be updated in flight and stooge around the area for a bit?

I'm not at ASW expert by any means, but I suspect nothing wants to linger around a confirmed enemy sub contact for that long. It makes more sense to have the unit engaging the sub much closer to the one detecting it/the target.

I'm thinking about all these autonomous sensors that seem to be the flavour of the day. Even if we are talking about ship-board weapons there seems likely to be a coverage gap due to lack of sufficient crewed assets. The ships are going to be covering very larve areas. Unless we start floating lots of uncrewed arsenals along with the uncrewed sensors.

Something that can deliver torpedoes or depth-bombs on demand?
