What are the aircraft that are in operation now that have decent maritime strike abilities (there’s lots of aircraft that can hang a harpoon on its wing, but how many have avionics, etc that can effectively do the job).
some I can think of:
Mitsubishi F-2, can carry 4 Type 93 AShMs, designed for maritime strike at its conception
JH-7/FBC-1, can carry 4 C-802 and is pretty much tasked for just that
Super Entendard, at least based on what it did in the Falklands
Hornet
Su-30MKK?
