Not very practical if the enemy have any kind of ASW capability but imagine it rising out of the sea off an enemy coast!

Also not very practical when the enemy has no ASW either...

No, but I suppose they were thinking of a situation like Guadalcanal where the US did not control the sea or air. Of course as this is post-war that did not apply so I assume that is why it was dropped.
