ASROC stands for "Anti-Submarin ROCket", and it is an unguided rocket
fired from a special launcher on surface ships, with either a Mk 46 torpedo
or a 1kT nuclear depth charge as a warhead.  The normal range is 9km(about
5.625 miles), but the Extended range version has an 18km(11.25 miles) range.
The underwater contemporary is SUBROC--SUBmarin-launched ROCket.
