I've seen some sources that claim that and others like Polmar that claim it was only considered after the failure of Regulus II then quickly dropped.Concepts competing with SUBROC in the 50s were Marlin, which was definitely a multipurpose weapon with land-attack capability, and Wet ASROC.There were a number of studies of conventional SUBROC variants or alternatives in the late 60s and early 70s but they weren't considered sufficiently effective for production.
