	Missile boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Missile Boat is a form of patrol boat armed with anti-ship missiles.
		The first use of missile boats was the Egyptian Soviet-built Komar class craft fire of four SS-N-2 Styx missiles on the Israeli destroyer Eilat on October 20, 1967, shortly after the Six Day War, causing the latter's sinking with 47 dead.
		The first naval missile battles between missile boats occurred between the Israel Navy (using indigenously-developed Gabriel missiles), and Syrian and Egyptian craft during the October 1973 Yom Kippur War.

		The first patrol boats built by the shipyard were overall boats and small "hunters" for the Sea Frontiers Guard of the country.
		The usage of boats with missile weapons in combat actions proved to be very important for increasing the defensive capacity of the country.
		Missile boats are a universal means of destruction of an enemy's ships and vehicles, of guard of the coastal area and of struggle against landing troops.

		The “Missile Boat'' design adapted by the Israel Navy in the mid 1960s was based on the German “Jaguar'' class, which was modified to carry five IAI/MBT Gabriel missiles.
		In the early 1970s Gabriel anti-ship missiles were installed on Saar 2' and Saar 3 “Jaguar'' type missile boats, as well as two Israeli built missile boats of the “Reshef”' class (Saar 4) which were based on a completely new design and construction by Israeli Shipyards.
		The missile boat provided an unique solution for the operational requirements of-the Israel Navy, which were defence of sea-lanes in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, support of coastal area defence operations, through the maintaining of local superiority over hostile forces operating in the Eastern Mediterranean.

	Sa'ar 5-class missile boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On July 14, 2006, while enforcing a blockade off Beirut the INS Hanit was attacked by Hezbollah, using an Iranian version of the PRC C-701 missile.
		And that the missile was only able to hit the Hanit because it's sophisticated automatic missile defense system was not deployed.
		The max range of the Kosar anti-patrol boat missile is identical to the distance of the Hanit from the Lebanese shore and the the damage level of the Hanit seems to be more in line with the smaller explosive warhed of the c-701.

		Missile boats are equipped with a missile interception system capable of automatically intercepting any missile or aircraft approaching it.
		However, as the boat was operating in an area where a large number of IDF planes were present, the Navy had refrained from activating the system.
		At the first stage it was decided to pull the boat away from its position using another boat, and at the same time to surround it with additional crafts in order to protect it from being hit again.

		Each missile tube was covered with a fiberglass dome that kept the water out of the tube until a split second after the missile launch sequence got to the good part.
		The missile then continued on its way to the surface where, after it was fully clear of the water, the engine ignited, and the missile and its warheads (if it had any) proceeded on to ruin someone's day.
		These were the missile warheads (dummies in this case) as they splashed down...err...hit their targets after being released from a missile that was shot off the coast of the state of Washington, USA.

		A Hsiungfeng II ship-to-ship missile, designed with a range of 150 kilometers (90 miles), was launched from the vessel and hit the target.
		The navy said the "stealth" boat, designed to reduce the reflection of radar waves, measures 34.2 meters (113 feet) and is capable of cruising at a maximum speed of 33 knots.
		Analysts said the boat may be able to "passively" receive intelligence collected by other Taiwan warships and enable the fleet to launch missile blitzes against targeted enemy warships without exposing their location.

		She was used as a testbed for the Barak and other combat systems integration for Saar4.5 missile boats.
		This radar is also optimized to track highly maneuverable missile size targets, and perform fast automatic acquisition and continue with guidance and flight directions leading Barak-1 missiles to hit their targets.
		The highly maneuverable supersonic missile uses a powerful kill mechanism based on a 22kg blast fragmentation warhead, which is optimized to provide a large kill radius against missiles and aircraft.

		In terms of combat capabilities and performance characteristics, the missile boat of Project 1230.0 is claimed to surpass all missile boats and corvettes of a similar displacement.
		The boat is the world’s first to be armed with a 100 mm A-190E lightweight gun mount, and two Kashtan-1 gunnery systems for self-defence against close-range attacks from anti-ship missiles or air power.
		To improve its seaworthiness, the boat is equipped with a set of automatically controlled interceptors capable of reducing rolling motions by a factor of 2 or 3.

	BBC - h2g2 - Ballistic Missile Submarines
		When a ballistic missile boat leaves port you can be sure that the event is being watched — probably by satellite, a few ground-based observers and more than likely a couple of submarines lurking and waiting to follow it to sea.
		The missiles themselves are generally just very thin metal tubes containing a huge quantity of solid or liquid fuel and oxidiser, usually in multiple stages and topped with a small guidance system and the warhead itself.
		The 12 boats of the Benjamin Franklin class followed Lafayette and were based on a similar design; again the last boats were retired in 1995 and replaced by the current Ohio class.

		But when they drew closer, the Israelis realized that their target was not a missile boat but a group of torpedo boats (Soviet-built P-6s, with a displacement of 75 tons, a speed of 43 knots, 25-man crews, 450 mm torpedo tubes, and an antiaircraft gun) that were approaching head-on.
		The disabled Arab boat was slow to sink; the destroyer's escort had to circle the target and shoot at the burning wreck until it was submerged.
		The loss of these boats clearly demonstrates the inability of the Egyptian naval forces to keep a proper lookout in the base responsibility zone, locate the whole enemy force, and then strike a blow with sufficient strength and weaponry to accomplish the task.

	1971 India-Pakistan War: Blockade from the Seas
		Moreover, the Navy wanted to try out the missiles to see how effective they could be in real action, although this kind of use of missile boats, which were designed for coastal defence and not for long range offensive action of any kind, was highly unorthodox.
		At any rate, three missile boats were chosen for the mission and despatched in the dead of night from Bombay harbour.
		That boat was the first Indian warship to fire a missile in anger.

		Naval headquarters sources said the missile corvette INS Prahar ran into the merchant vessel Rajiv Gandhi, a container carrier of the Shipping Corporation of India coming from the opposite direction, around 9.45.
		The boat remained on the surface for over 120 minutes, fortunately for the crew who could ensure their SOS had been read, and sank gradually as water flooded it.

		The Missile Boat also sometimes carries a tractor beam, although this is not so common anymore.
		It should also be noted that while the Missile Boat has been placed into production, the possibility of coming across it is remote as it costs an excessive amount of materials and credits to build and service.
		The best way to stop missile boats is to fire a missile at each in a strike squadron, and then pick them off one by one, switching target every time one becomes a dangerous threat to your mission critical craft again.
