Which of these Wars saw the 1st combat use of air launched anti-ship missiles? World War II Korean War Vietnam War The 6 Day War Yom Kippur War The Falklands War Vote for the war you believe achieved the first air launched antiship missile in combat, then post the reasons for your choice!! For those that require a specific defination... The modern defination of a missile is guided either internally, or by external means, while flown under power to a target... Rockets are unguided, and thus not considerred missiles... This also means it doesnt include glide bombs, controlled by radio, GPS, or otherwise. And for the limited defination of this poll... The weapon has to fly a trajectory, and gain lift from its body, but not from large wings... _________________ CAG Hotshot "FAF Shape Meister" Forum Administrator FAF/FA-2 Design team TSH Member/Developer -------- __@ ----- _`\<,_ ---- (*)/ (*) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last edited by CAG Hotshot on Sat Feb 3 20:53:58 2007; edited 2 times in total Fri Feb 2 23:48:01 2007 Pappy014   Rank: FAF Beta Tester Joined: 14 Aug 2004 Posts: 707 Post subject: Anti Ship Missile CAG I vote for WWII. I have seen combat footage of Navy planes attacking Jap ships with 5" aerial rockets. I am waiting for you to tell me those are not anti ship missiles. Regards, Pappy _________________ Tally Ho!

This is an easy one so I wont vote for a while. _________________ FAF/FA-2 FM Wizard "Oh the horror of the seven engine approach" Half man, half machine, half timebomb.....

Sheesh! I can only change your vote, if after reading the definition, in relation to the poll, you have decided to change your selection. So which do you want to stay with? Vietnam or Korea, and IIRC I asked anyone who had such an issue to EMAIL ME ABOUT IT...

It did sink several allied ships, but as you can see, it does not qualify within the definition of this poll... "The Hs 293 project was started in 1940, based on the "Gustav Schwartz Propellerwerke" pure glide bomb that was designed in 1939." It was essentially a powered glide bomb for extended range, and used large wings for lift...
