The launch itself would require an armed SSBN (e.g. TYPHOON[b]) and a trigger-generated spotter aircraft that would link a distant land target, prompting the boomer to engage. Right now, "[b]oomers" are only available with SCX, so we may have to "use our imagination."
?

First of all, when would SSBN's be attacking coastal targets linked from a submarine or maritime recon aircraft?

Don't you mean SSGN's?

In fact, any ship with long range Strike missiles can take a link from a user or preferably an AI spotting and launch missile quite effectively, this works for ASuW as well, although the link needs to be from an AI to get really aggressive attacking behavior (at least that's the way I remember my tests to be).

If there is a linking platform, ASuW and Strike equipped platforms capable of long range attack will fire very effectively.
