Actually yes, we need more ships on ASW. The majority of BBs in GBs do not carry ASW weapons. Many use either AA or extra repairs on their T slots. I play a lot of CL/CA and SS3, and by far the most common ASW threat to a submarine is another submarine. I rarely have to deal with surface-based ASW (and no, a BB or CV with HH isn't capable of real ASW anyways unless he has a sonar escort). It's far more common that while in my AA CL, myself and the BB I'm shading know a sub is near (based on torpedo launches) but we have no options besides trying to dodge torpedoes until he runs out of air, asking in team chat for ASW and not getting any help. Don't confuse anti-sub weapons for anti-sub warfare.
Besides all that, ASW ships tend to not be on even footing with subs anyways. DDs don't have high DP values or room for much bulge, and the best way to play ASW with a DD is to work with your team. Keep sonar contact with the SS, stay off his bow and avoid torpedoes, and only when it's safe do you move in for a kill. I'm not suggesting that a higher level ASW ship should have tons of DP or super-strong ASW weapons, the whole point of having a higher level support ship for ASW and/or AA is to allow higher level crews to get experience from those support roles.

I'm not sure which game you're talking about, but it isn't GB1. If GB1s in 1.326 are SS capped, it's not until at least 10. SS are just not common enough to see eight in one game anyways.

I'm not saying there needs to be a ship line that goes right up to level 120, but having a new DD to look forward to as a reward for your ASW progress would be cool. I don't like the idea of letting just anyone pop into a high level ASW ship without grinding it out first, but it's a matter of opinion. To me it makes the most sense to have a short ship line in the tree for ASW and/or AA and one premium version that does not require a new BO. If instead we don't have it become a new ship line, I'd rather see mid-level remodels of the current DDs as opposed to event ships up in those level ranges.
