Why should it be funny?

That is probably a good idea since they were last used successfully in the Falkland Islands War back in 1982. They still can't find the remains of that Argentinian Cruiser that was sunk by a British nuclear powered sub (conventional torpedoes). However, I believe the surface Navy should have priority in anti-ship missile protection considering how deadly the French Exocet missile was and that includes Chinese Silkworm missiles.
