The illustrative VLS load leaves dedicated anti-submarine weapons outside its allocation. A 5-inch gun is discussed as another way to engage small underwater drones, using ammunition described as producing a depth-charge-like effect after entering the water. An active anti-torpedo system could provide a further defensive layer against survivors. An Israeli anti-torpedo torpedo is cited as an example, without naming the system. These are proposed options, not a confirmed Type 83 weapons installation.

Gun-fired underwater defence and an active anti-torpedo layer
The discussion considers depth-charge-like gun ammunition against underwater drones, followed by active anti-torpedo defence.
