Sea Skua as a likely successor to a helicopter-launched missile

What would replace Short Hellcat if it was a helicopter-launched anti-ship missile?

Sea Skua is the most likely successor, potentially with a heavier variant in an alternate development path.

Identifying Short Hellcat as a helicopter-launched weapon changes the replacement problem. Sea Skua is the natural successor, with development beginning in 1975 and service following in the early 1980s. A heavier derivative might also be possible in an alternate programme. The launch platform determines which replacement choices are available to the navy.
