in 1985 daphnie class subs were modified to use harpoon block-1 missile and PN was the first asian navy to use submarine launched missile . now daphine class are de commisioned in 2006 . so we lose the capabilty of launching harpoon from subs. as agosta 90 b have only exocet sm-39 which range is less than harpoon.
so how we can now use submarine launched harpoons which we got .

Pakistan Military Consortium :: www.PakDef.infoFor submarine launches, UGM-84 Harpoon is enclosed in a capsule. When launched from the torpedo tube, stabilising fins unfold to establish the proper glide angle for broaching the water's surface. A sensor then initiates release of the capsule nose and tail sections, followed by ignition of the missile boost motor. At the same time the missile exits the capsule, wings and fins unfold, and Harpoon is propelled into a flight trajectory similar to that of the surface launches. Submarines fitted with Mk 113 fire-control systems use a separate Encapsulated Harpoon Command and Launch Systems (EHCLS), whilst those with the Mk 117 fire-control system have the Harpoon weapon integrated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_Navy#SubmarinesAll of the Pakistani SSKs have been equipped with AshMs which can be fired while submerged. The three Khalid class boats are capable of firing Exocet AshM, while the older Agostas and Daphnes have been equipped with US Harpoon AshMs. PNS/M Hamza (third Agosta-90B) is equipped with the MESMA Air Independent Propulsion system, PNS/M Khalid and PNS/M Saad will be upgraded with the same MESMA AIP system in the near future. The Pakistan Navy also plans to integrate the Boeing Harpoon Block II on to its Agosta-90Bs; and currently the Agosta-90Bs are capable of firing Blackshark torpedoes.
