Last time i looked Astute definitely had a Block IV Tomahwak capability after the UK and Raytheon jointly funded the further development of the Block III TTL to accommodate.
Yes but we had to fund, what is now a unique torpedo tube only launch capability which a) takes away torpedoes and b) isn't exactly a barrage of them.
Really a batch 2 astute with a uk version of the Virginia payload module would be a decent project, but enough off topic.
