ASROC (Anti-Submarine Rocket)

ASROC, or Anti-Submarine Rocket, is a naval weapon system designed to target submarines from surface ships or aircraft. It combines a rocket launch mechanism with a torpedo, allowing a ship to quickly engage underwater threats from a distance. When fired, the rocket travels to a designated area, where it releases a torpedo that descends into the water to search for and attack submarines. ASROC enhances a naval force's ability to defend against submarine threats, offering speed and precision in anti-submarine warfare. It's an important tool for maintaining maritime security and protecting naval assets.
