Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile

Harpoon is an American anti-ship missile developed during the Cold War for launch from several types of platform. Its sea-skimming approach and active radar guidance were intended to threaten surface vessels at stand-off distances. Different variants and launch arrangements served ships, aircraft, and submarines. The name identifies a missile family, so an individual model’s launcher or aircraft fit determines its precise historical configuration. Its compact turbojet-powered airframe allowed carriage on platforms much smaller than those needed for earlier large anti-ship missiles. A ship-launched example typically used an initial booster to leave its canister. Harpoon became widely exported, making its recognizable launch containers familiar aboard many Western and allied surface combatants.
