Vivictius,
Visibility in the Gulf waters is not that good, and even if it were, an aircraft would have to fly almost directly over a submerged submarine to be able to see it. That makes for a very tight search pattern, which means it is unlikely to be successful.

Michael Hoskins,
The Mk48 is carried by subs; helos carry the much smaller Mk50s or Mk46s.
