Harpoon Missle

Subamrine Force Museum

 

HARPOON: The HARPOON was originally developed in the 1970s as an antisubmarine missile for the Navy’s P-3 Orion aircraft. By 1981 it was the premier long-range, anti-ship missile used by navies around the world. A turbojet that burned a kerosene-based fuel propelled the missile. American submarines no longer carry HARPOONs.
