Sea Hurricane rockets against submarines and small craft

Rocket-armed Sea Hurricanes could damage submarines or small craft, but the decisive difficulty was obtaining a hit.

Question

How effective were rocket-armed Sea Hurricanes against submarines and small craft?

Short answer

A hit could matter, but obtaining one was difficult enough that success depended heavily on luck.

Notes

The exchange asks about Sea Hurricanes using rockets against submarines and light craft. A hit could be effective, but achieving one required considerable luck. The weapon therefore offered a possibility rather than a reliably decisive anti-submarine method. An aircraft's maritime value cannot be judged solely from the destructive power of the weapon it carried.
