		The Exocet is a (The Romance language spoken in France and in countries colonized by France) French-built (Click link for more info and facts about anti-ship missile) anti-ship missile made in various versions capable of being launched from surface ships and boats, submarines, and airplanes.
		The Exocet that struck the Sheffield failed to explode but the impact of the missile travelling at 315 (Click link for more info and facts about m/s) m/s and laden with unburnt rocket fuel was enough to set the ship ablaze.
		To counter the mortal threat posed by the Exocet, a major intelligence operation was initiated to prevent the Argentine air force acquiring more of the missiles and British intelligence (believed to have been assisted by American intelligence) launched a global operation to disrupt Argentine attempts to procure new Exocets for the campaign.

		When the missile is launched, it dives to an altitude of 30 meters, which is later fixed at only 2.5 meters by the missile's radio altimeter.
		Proni guessed that an Exocet sortie was on the way, and set the Neptune's course to the area of the wreckage of the ARA General Belgrano, pretending to be part of a rescue mission searching for survivors.
		The British version of this incident exposed that the Exocet failed its mark, the HMS Invincible, due to it being downed by a 114 mm shell from the frigate HMS Avenger, or due to it being neutralized by decoys.

	The Falkland Islands Conflict, 1982: Air Defense Of The Fleet
		French technicians were to have made the missile operational in April of 1982 but had been recalled to France once the war erupted.2 Thus the Navy's Super Etendard squadron actually began the war with just five aircraft, five Exocet missiles, and no training in the employment of the missile.
		In that instance, the missile scored no hit and the vessel itself was damaged by a bomb released by the attacking aircraft.10 The only other use of the missile was in a surface to surface role where it was used to attack an Argentine position near Stanley.
		Generally, it is their objective to destroy attacking aircraft (and their missiles, if any) at as far from the task force as possible since destroying the aircraft before it launches an anti ships missile not only destroys the missile for that mission but, prevents the aircraft from returning for a subsequent attack.

	C-801
		Said to be derived from the French Exocet, the C-801 bears little external resemblance to this missile apart from nearly identical length and diameter, and in fact the triple control surfaces are rather similar to those found on the American Harpoon [though the Harpoon is only about 80% the size of the C-801].
		The passing resemblance of the YJ-1 to the Exocet MIM4O led to the suggestion that the Chinese missile was the result of reverse engineering.
		The C-801 is carried on missile speedboats, submarines, escort boats, and destroyers, and is used to attack destroyers or escort boats.

		The fifth HMS Norfolk (D21) was laid down on 15 March 1966 by Swan Hunter and launched by Lavinia, Duchess of Norfolk in November 1967.
		Like her predecessor she was a County-class warship, though this time she was a destroyer, rather than a cruiser, and her most potent armament was not her guns, but her missiles.
		She was thus the first Royal Navy warship to be armed with the Exocet missile system.

		The Seaslug missile was intended initially as an anti-aircraft missile, but in view of its mass and impressive kinetic energy on impact, later versions were improved to have surface warfare capability as well.
		Specialized as these ships were to carry the Seaslug missile, the only RN ships to ever do so, these ships were of decreasing value in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and all were paid off from RN service by the mid-80s.
		The missiles were assembled within the superstructure, and then slid out through ports (to the right of the launcher in this photo) into the launcher.

		The falklands was a bit of a special case, owing to the fact that Britain was securing territory which was well within missile (Exocet) range of the Argentinian mainland.
		Regarding the range of the Exocet, the solid propellant motor gives Exocet a range of about 50 km, but when released from 10,000 m (32,800 ft) the range achieved was reported to be 70 km.
		Exocet missile was real eye opener for British, they almost lost the war, fortunatelly for them Argentinian Air Forcess forces run out of Exocet's missiles.

	Navy Matters \| Type 45 Section
		The one criticism of the class was that they seemed under-armed for their size and cost, and so the Exocet missile system was installed on all ships after the first three, and those would be fitted with it at there mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).
		Additionally, the weapons suite of the Batch III ships was enhanced with the 4.5in gun, replacement of the Exocet missiles with the Harpoon, fitting of the 'Goalkeeper' Close In Weapon System, which is designed to engage incoming missiles from 1500 meters down to 350.
		While this caused no essential clash, the missile being capable of both missions, the radar needed to perform the area defence role (as required by the Royal Navy) would have to be of a markedly different nature to that required by the point defence role (France and Italy).

		This crucial series of radar traces was not known to the eminent historian David Brown, formerly of the Royal Navy historical branch, when he wrote what the navy regards as the nearest thing to an official history of the conflict at sea.
		The Exocet did not explode, but its friction caused a fuel explosion which swept the destroyer with flames and poisonous smoke.

		According to one report, the ship's radar warning systems were programmed to identify the Exocet missile as "friendly" because the British arsenal includes the Exocet's homing device and allowed the missile to reach its target, namely the Sheffield.
		The incoming missile was not detected by the Patriot defenses, whose clock had drifted.36 seconds during the 4-day continuous siege, the error increasing with elapsed time since the system was turned on.
		Were a missile to approach at a certain tricky angle (all) 27 programs would fail to shoot it down.

		Eastward, over the horizon the AEGIS Missile Cruiser Normandy and a flotilla of U.S. Navy missile ships, steaming in the waters of Military Zone W-105, awaited the expected "boogie." W-105 had been especially selected (and activated for live fire) because of its similarity to the Persian Gulf.
		The simulated "bogie" was a Navy BQM-74E missile drone launched from Shinnecock Bay, east of Riverhead, Long Island by an Army unit shortly after the "all clear" at 8:30 p.m.
		The missiles had been altered to work compatibly with the CEC brain, and would be guided over the horizon where ship and on-board missile radars couldn't see.

		Iran had already bought older 30-mile range C801 missile from China in the early 1990s and had received about half of the 150, 80-mile range, C802s on order from Beijing before the supply was frozen in 1997.

		The Exocet missile would make the News again a few days later, when the unsinkable airplane-carrier ''HMS Invincible'' was seriously damaged when the warhead of an Exocet sunk in and exploded.
		It is a missile: with a main propulsion + secondary propulsion (to modify its trajectory during the flight) + a guiding system (to hit the target even if it moves or changes direction).
		It would be desirable though that the new missile has a guiding system sensible to three kinds of detection: heat, the velocity and trajectory of the object, and of large masses of metal (density and composition of the objet).
