When the UK gave up carriers in the 60s the alternative was supposed to be a family of helicopter, ship and sub launched missiles. In the event while Wasp helicopters did get AS12s it took nearly a decade before Exocet equipped some destroyers and frigates. Sea Skua for Lynx did not arrive...

Tokyo AEROSPACE JAPAN-WEEKLY in English 3 Aug 87 pp 4, 5
For a missile that was "highly evaluated" by the U.S., I find it to be particularly elusive.
