	Ikara (missile) Biography on DanceAge
		Cutaway drawing of the Ikara missile largely based on declassified documents located in the National Archives, [1] London, and photographs taken by the artist of museum exhibits at the Bristol Aero Collection[2] at RAF Kemble and the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Gosport, Hampshire, UK.
		The British also required the missile payload to be changeable aboard ship to permit different payload combinations to be used, including a Nuclear Depth Bomb (NDB) option, and this, together with the different ship internal layouts required further changes to the missile, storage and handling arrangements.
		The British purchased Ikara to fit to the two new CVA-01 aircraft carriers planned (and later cancelled) in the 1960's, and their escorts, the Type 82 destroyers, of which only one, HMS Bristol was built.

		The Polaris is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, capable of carrying an nuclear warhead.
		The Missile Controller used the optical sight to follow the target, generating command signals which went by connecting cable to the missile control equipment mounted with the launcher.
		The Ikara was used by the Australian, Brazilian and Royal Navies.

	Ikara Colt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ikara Colt were a four piece art-rock band that was formed by art students at London Guildhall University and had a five year career, starting in 1999 and splitting on the 17th of January 2005.
		Ikara Colt's sonic assault seemed to be directed at expressing frustration and dissatisfaction at society and British culture in general.
		Ikara Colt influences leaned heavily on early Sonic Youth, The Fall, The Stooges and Warsaw but contained elements of mid seventies disco, electronica and early The Who.

	Ikara anti-submarine missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-08)
		Ikara was a small rocket powered delta that was launched from a deck launcher.
		As the rocket approached the target area the torpedo was ejected into the sea and continued to intercept the target submarine.
		Ikara was deployed by the Royal, Royal Australian and Brazilian Navies.

		During the 1950s, GAF had developed the Malkara anti-tank missile for the British Army, and later that decade used this knowledge to develop the Ikara system.
		A torpedo-carrying guided missile, Ikara was used by the Royal Australian Navy, as well as the Brazilian and British navies.
		The Ikara design later contributed the basis of the Turana target drone for the Royal Australian Navy.

		Ikara tub, not sure if it is the Leandner class though.
		Oh and using the Ikara Tracker as a TV antenna, yes it was done and word spread to the other ships, unfortunatly it got to the wrong ears also and a nasty threat was made causing hasty disconnecting.

		They were originally armed with one twin mount 4.5 in (114 mm) gun, but this was later removed in favour of the Australian designed Ikara anti-submarine warfare (ASW) rocket launcher in response to the perceived threat of Soviet submarines, effectively turning the batch one vessels into ASW frigates.
		The one twin mount 4.5-in gun was later replaced with the Exocet anti-ship missile launcher giving them a potent anti-ship capability.
		On five ships of the batch, the one twin mount 4.5 in (114 mm) gun, SeaCat missile launcher, 40 mm guns, and Limbo mortar were all removed in favour of three Oerlikon 20 mm guns, and Sea Wolf missile and Exocet missile launchers.

		The quad missile launcher is on the aft raised deck with the director above and forward of it.
		It was limited by the fact only one missile could be controlled at a time but it was relatively cheap, easy to install and with the option of human control very effective against radar jamming.
		Shown is HMS Euryalus with the Ikara Raydome on the bridge and the command transmitter on a stump mast behind it.

		Soon after this incident, Aurora underwent modernisation which included the addition of the Ikara anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missile launcher that in effect changed the Batch One ships, of which Aurora was part of, into a specialised ASW batch rather than its original role as a general purpose batch.
		In 1989, her career came to a truly explosive end, when during a naval exercise, she was sunk by a Sea Dart missile, three Exocets and one 'dumb' bomb.
		In 1981, Penelope was fitted with the Exocet missile with the intention of using Penelope to test it.

		She was laid down as a Rothsay Class frigate, named Weymouth, but during the building, the design was change to a more modern one, so hence the Leander class was born.
		She served from 1963 to 1971 as a Gun Leander, and from 1971 to 1973 she was refitted with the Australian Ikara anti submarine missile system, in an extended forward superstructure.
		A two sheet plans set is drawn by Jecobin, which details the ship after the Ikara refit.

		On 25 May 1964 she test-fired a Seacat missile and became the first Australian warship to fire a guided missile.
		That was to trial the RBS70 surface-to-air missile system before it was fitted to the fleet oiler HMAS WESTRALIA for her deployment to the Persian Gulf during the Gulf War and the subsequent naval activity in support of United Nations trade sanctions imposed on Iraq.
		The lack of development of the Ikara system, the limitations imposed by the aging Seacat system, together with the forthcoming commissioning of new ships and the re-evaluation of future Australian naval priorities led to the decision to retire the River Class.

		While the ship was trying to positively identify the aircraft, it fired a missile which struck Hoba?t amidships on the star-board side, immediately aft of the forward personnel boat davit.
		The second and third missiles hit her three and a half minutes after the first, again on the starboard side.
		The third missile hit Hobart very near the site of impact of the first, and the warhead passed through the fan space, missile director equipment room and No. 2 director.

		While Uluru might be the centre of our aspirations regarding tourism and national identity, Woomera, having hosted missiles and atomic testing as well as a detention centre, seems to register our national fears.
		The Ikara missile—developed in the 60s to be launched at distant submarines—is re-created in pale wood; but unlike the contained miniature models, this re-creation dominates.
		Monitors feature a static image of the missile overlaid with voices in languages such as Arabic, creating a complex sense of the feared expressing their fears, drawing on Woomera as detention centre, but circling the place of contention.

		This was replaced with the British GWS.30 Sea Dart (CF299 as it was known the time) and systems were originally due to be mounted either side of the stern as shown in the 1963 drawing top, but this was soon modified to just one launcher in the centre of the stern.
		An Ikara ASW missile launcher and its magazine was due to be mounted on the platform just forward of the aft side aircraft lift, but after much debate approval to delete this was given in 1964.
		The launcher location under the approach path of landing aircraft was vulnerable to damage [although operational analysis indicated that this was in fact extremely unlikely to occur], and the system encroached on the flight deck area, took up valuable weight and hull volume, and had a significant cost.

		Basic missile was V-600 (or 4K90) (range: from 4 to 15 km, altitude: from 0.1 to 10 km).
		The only British anti-ship missiles that might have been exported around then were Sea Killer and Sea Skua - neither of which were really worth the deckspace.
		On top sits the Ikara ASROC launcher, and under it (behind hanger) is the missile magazine.

	Type 82 Destroyer
		The Type 82 (the first time a destroyer received a frigate-type designation) were to be roughly the same size as the 'County' class and have a Combined Steam and Gas Turbine (COSAG) propulsion.
		The armament was to consist of three elements - a new 4.5 inch gun, the Ikara anti-submarine missile and the Sea Dart surface-to-air missile.
		The Ikara missile consisted of a delta-winged rocket which carried a Mk 44 or 46 homing torpedo, and had a range of ten miles.

		The Ikara conversions were undertaken in two groups: 1A and 1B, so that lessons learnt from the first 1A conversions could be incorporated into the 1B vessels.
		Towards the beginning of the 1980s some of the earlier vessels were beginning to show their age, as was their Ikara missile system.
		Her Ikara missile system (which Australia forbid from being sold to non-Commonwealth nations) prevented a possible sail to Chile.

		The main modifications were the addition of two broad deckhouses, one on each side of the vessel between the funnels, housing the Australian designed Ikara anti submarine missile system, and the mounting of a single-arm missile launcher instead of the twin mounting installed on the American ships.
		Refits have included the fitting of airconditioning, upgrade of the missile firing and control systems, the replacement of the Tartar missile with the Standard missile and the modification of the missile systems to fire the Harpoon anti ship missiles.
		In 1991 the Ikara missile system was removed from the class.

		In particular, the performance of the guided missile system, the Sea Slug, then being developed, failed to impress; instead the tried and proven United States Tartar system selected for the DDG class of destroyers was considered to be superior.
		Two of the missiles hit the ship, one hitting it amidships causing damage to the superstructure, and the other struck aft below the main deck.
		Refits have included the fitting of air-conditioning, upgrade of the missile firing and control systems, the replacement of the Tartar missile with the Standard missile and the modification of the missile systems to fire the Harpoon anti ship missiles.

	Leander Type 12
		These general purpose frigates completed the change from the previous pattern of special purpose frigates which had dominated since the 1951 construction programme, and which had started with the Tribal class.
		Later however, with the Ikara conversions (A/S - Anti-Submarine) in particular, specialism returned as the Royal Navy's role within NATO became principally an anti-submarine one.
		As these ships got older and needs changed to meet new demands and threats from more advanced weaponry, most of these ships had their twin 4.5in Mk.

	Subroc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The warhead (a W55 250 kiloton nuclear weapon) then separates and a parachute deploys to lower the payload, a Nuclear Depth Bomb into the water, sinking rapidly before exploding in proximity to its target.
		The tactical rationale for SUBROC was similar to that for ASROC or Ikara.
		An added advantage was that SUBROC's approach to the target was not detectable by the target in time to take evasive action, although the warhead yield would appear to make evasive manouvers unrealistic.

	Australians at War
		Apart from the 5-inch/54 calibre guns, they were armed with Ikara missile systems and anti-submarine torpedoes.
		Brisbane undertook two tours of duty with the United States Seventh Fleet off Vietnam, in 1969 and again in 1971, and was the last ship of the RAN to serve there.
		This dome was normally used for anti-aircraft fire control within the mount (the retained port dome being used for local surface control), but this was not needed here because of the use of the Tartar anti-aircraft missile system on these Australian ships.

	Type 42
		Otherwise, the primary change from the Type 82 was the deletion of the Ikara ASW missile and the Limbo ASW mortar, and the addition aft hangar flight deck and helicopter.
		The missile hit fuel tanks amidships and serious fires started, which filled the central section of the ship with acrid smoke.
		In early 1997 it was reported that the US Department of Defense was prepared to offer up to four Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) class frigates as "optional extras" to permit the early withdrawal of the oldest Batch 1 Type 42 destroyers from the UK Royal Navy service.

	All Wood Wings: Leander Class Frigates - quality ship models crafted from wood
		Originally armed with a twin 4.5" gun mount, some Batch One ships were upgraded by adding the Australian designed Ikara anti-submarine warfare rocket launcher in response to the perceived threat of Soviet submarines, effectively turning the vessels into ASW frigates.
		Batch Two, comprising six ships (1966 to 1967), were designed for the ASW role and were only slightly revised to the batch ones, in that they had a different engine design, known as the Y136.
		On five ships of the batch both 4.5-inch twin gun mounts, Sea Cat missile launcher, 40 mm guns, and Limbo mortar were all removed in favor of adding three Oerlikon 20mm guns and launchers for the Sea Wolf and Exocet missiles.

		His inventions - none of which went into mass production - have included a picture recorder, self-resoling shoes, a quick-insertion nut, a special fire extinguisher, a cable distribution network, a "ski-bike" and a luggage carrier.
		Mr Campbell spent time working for a military department, the Weapons Research Establishment, in the 1950s, helping develop an engine for the Ikara missile, which was later installed on Australian battleships.
		He also worked as a cinematograph officer for the army and RAAF, setting up projectors and public address systems, in the same unit as country music legend Smokey Dawson.

	Type 82 General Purpose Destroyer
		This class was designed as the General Purpose escorts for the CVA-01 Carrier but on cancellation the class was reduced from 4 to 1.
		Even this ship was only built because there was a need to get Ikara and Seadart to sea earlier than would have been possible had it been decided to wait for the replacement class (the Type 42 which abandoned Ikara in favour of a Lynx helicopter).
		Officially listed as a "Destroyer" this is presumably as the result of her Seadart area defence capability and despite the lack of a helicopter hanger.

		Some 13,225 man hours had gone into preparing Perth for her new role and ongoing work will see the restoration of a Tarter missile, missile launcher, and an Ikara missile which will be housed in an interpretation centre to be built within two years.
		Perth becomes the fifth former RAN ship to end her days off the WA coast in the past decade, and the first in the Southern Ocean.
