you might get some weird answers on this, IIRC:
air-launched torpedo tactics are still part of ASW
tactics. helicopter and P3 among others..just different
models of torp and methods of delivery.

OK, but when have these actually been used? There haven't been many
wars involving attacks on submarines recently. Seems a good question to me.

I suspect the RN dropped some ASW torpedoes during the Falklands war.
