My first thought as well, but this system is not just a torpedo on a rocket. It also has an anti-torpedo variant that provides several minutes of what is termed ‘interference’ in the article. That isn’t something I’m aware an asroc ever provided. Only anti-toro stuff I knew of were sound generators.

Missed that first time through. You’re right; at least in my era that was not a feature.
I wonder, though, how well it works.
