Su-24 in anti-shipping role during the 70s/80s

I was looking at the use of AVMF strike planes for attacking smaller crafts like corvettes /missile boats which do not have SAM , what kind of weapons can the Su-24 employ against such craft during the cold war years ? such an encounter was probably likely in the Baltic region where there were a plethora of German/sweedih/Danish crafts.I was thinking that the LGB/ AS-7/kh-29 ( AS-14) and maybe as suggested by other posters the AS-12/AS-11 missiles might be employed.The Kh-31 and Kh-35 probably were not available during the cold war

Thanks
