The 'Poon's a good weapon. About TASM: I recall from training a few decades ago that some Soviet ASM's had a capability for mid course guidance. I recall there being some talk about trying to fit mid course guidance modules into the SH-60B's follow on (SH-60R now MH-60R) that could talk to TASM or Harpoon type missiles. I have no idea if that idea survived the Clinton era budget cuts. Might have been one of those "neat idea, no funding" deals.
