	HHQ - DB2000 Encyclopedia
		The California class was the first to introduce the new lightweight Mk 45 127mm gun but the SAM launchers were Mk 13 single arm launchers which was something of backward step.
		The Mk 13 could not handle the ER versions of the SM-1 and SM-2 or the ASROC.
		This later failing nessecitated the inclusion of a Mk 112 ASROC launcher and a large deckhouse for reloading.

	Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
		A ballistic missile is one whose payload reaches its target by way of an initial powered boost and then a free flight along a high arcing trajectory.
		Part of the flight of longer-range ballistic missiles may occur outside the atmosphere and involve the "reentry" of a warhead or the missile.
		The deployment of this missile cannot be confirmed, however, and the U.S. Department of State does not credit Argentina with this missile.

	NTI: Country Overviews: Pakistan: Missile Chronology
		Missile cooperation and North Korean sales of the HwasÅng-6 and possibly Nodong missiles are on the agenda.
		The missile has a range of less than 300km and is not capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
		In response to the allegations of missile transfer and the subsequent imposition of sanctions by the United States, China contends the missile range to be 190 miles and, hence, does not fall under the MTCR guidelines.

	RAN Harpoon Missile System on HMAS Parramatta by Brett Green
		The launcher seen here carries the designation MK-13 GMLS (guided missile launching system) in the US Navy and I believe it is the same in the RAN.
		The missiles are stored vertically in two index rings (16 missiles in the inner ring and 24 missiles in the outer ring) which rotate to the load position with the missile selected.
		The missiles carry an electronic ID which is determined by a probe mechanism.

	MK 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS)
		MK 41 is a fixed, vertical, multi-missile storage and firing system that lets Navy vessels launch significant firepower.
		Additionally, MK 41 VLS is the choice of eight other international navies - including Canada, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Spain, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand - a number that is expected to grow as a result of significant ongoing international marketing campaigns.
		The missile launcher consists of a single eight-cell missile module, capable of launching SEASPARROW missiles used against hostile aircraft, missiles and surface units.

	USS California (CGN-36) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS California (CGN-36), the lead ship of her class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser, was the seventh ship of the United States Navy to be named for the 31st state.
		USS California and her sister ship South Carolina were equipped with two Mk-13 launchers, fore and aft, for the "Standard" surface-to-air missiles, ASROC missiles, and Harpoon missiles.
		She was launched on 22 September 1971 sponsored with a "near miss" of the champagne bottle by First Lady of the United States Patricia Nixon, and commissioned on 16 February 1974, with Captain Floyd H. Miller, Jr., in command.

		The Ferret Mk 3 and Mk 4 models have a collapsible screen that goes around the top of their hulls which allows travel across lakes and rivers using their wheels for propulsion.
		It is basically the Ferret Mk 2 with an extension collar fitted between the top of the hull and the machine gun turret to enable the commander/gunner to have a better field of fire.
		This is the Mk 1/1 improved to Mk 4 standards with a machine-gun turret.

	Agni [Strategic Ballistic Missile]
		The Agni missile family is envisaged to be the mainstay of the Indian missile-based strategic nuclear deterrence.
		Agni is unlike long-range missiles developed by western missiles where the RV is a passive ballistic load, whose accuracy depends on the launching vehicle's exact insertion into the sub-orbital trajectory.
		A mobile missile system reduces vulnerability and allows for greater operational flexibility, while critics feel that the cost of these mobile systems could be higher and that they greatly increase the time for moving from one place to another.

		It was adapted as a surface and submarine launched anti-ship missile for use in a general blue-water war.
		The semi-active Gabriel I missile was used to great effect in 1973 to literally decimate the Egyptian and Syrian navy's respectively.
		The decommissioning of the Mk13 launcher on the Perry’s, withdrawal of the Spruance class and non fitting of Harpoon to the Flight IIA Burkes has reduced the presence of Harpoon in the USN fleet.

	NRDC: Nuclear Data - Table of US Strategic Nuclear Forces, 2002
		A total of nine missiles are scheduled to undergo propulsion replacement in Fiscal Year 2001, followed by 33, 86, and 96 the subsequent three years.
		One missile was launched in February 2001 and two more scheduled for September, but they were canceled due to the terrorist attacks of September 11.
		Of the 116 missiles launched, only five have failed or not worked, and since December 1989 the program has accomplished a record of 94 consecutive successful launches, making the Trident II the most reliable strategic nuclear missile ever built.

		Bell Telephone Laboratories had the contract for the missile's radio-inertial guidance system, and American Bosch and MIT were under contract for the all-inertial guidance system.
		During maintenance Air Force personnel inadvertently disconnected the cable between the missile and the silo and the inter-stage separation rockets fired, lifting the first stage off the second stage.
		The MIRACL Near Infrared Laser, at White Sands Missile Range, NM was fired at a stationary Titan 1 second stage that was fixed to ground.

	ANTI-TANK MISSILES: SMAW
		The launcher consists of a fiberglass launch tube, a 9mm spotting rifle, an electro-mechanical firing mechanism, open battle sights, and a mount for the MK42 optical and AN/PVS-4 night sights.
		The SMAW MK153 Mod 0 launcher is based on the Israeli B-300 and consists of the launch tube, the spotting rifle, the firing mechanism, and mounting brackets.
		Carry weight of the launcher is 16.6 pounds (7.54 kg) and ready to fire with HEDP is 29.5 pounds (13.39 kg) or 30.5 pounds (13.85 kg) with HEAA.

	Air-Launched 2.75-Inch Rockets
		The latter was developed by the U.S. Army as a common replacement of the MK 4 and MK 40 for both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
		The MK 66 is longer than the MK 4/40, uses an improved smoke-less propellant and has a completely new fin and nozzle assembly.
		This missile will use the MK 66 motor with a new warhead/guidance section assembly, and will therefore be instantly compatible with all existing 70 mm rocket launchers in the U.S. inventory.

	NTI: Country Overviews: Iran: Missile Chronology
		Weizmann suggests that the range of the missiles to be co-produced with Iran could be shortened to 150 kilometers.
		The Army Aviation Command warns that missiles stolen form the air base located near Tehran during the culmination of the revolution last month could easily explode because they are highly sensitive to atmospheric and temperature changes.
		B program is most likely on the agenda, and thus, Iran decides to reach an agreement on missile technology exchange between the two countries and to help finance the missile program with the option of buying them once they are ready for the market.

	Standard missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early 1980s, the missile was deployed via Vertical Launching System (VLS) aboard the USS Bunker Hill (CG-52), the first US Navy ship to deploy a vertical launcher.
		VLS is now the predominate launcher used with the Standard missile in the US Navy aboard Ticonderoga class cruisers and Arleigh Burke class destroyers.
		The SM-2 Block IV with the Mk 72 booster was developed to compensate for the lack of a long range SM for the CG 47 class Aegis cruisers.

	Current Designations of U.S. Unmanned Military Aerospace Vehicles
		While the name is not part of the official designations, many missiles are almost exclusively referenced by their name, both in the popular press and in official government news releases and documents.
		There are numerous missile programs, which were cancelled in the design or development phase, and which never received a numerical designation.
		Many small rockets, especially infantry rockets and rockets launched from airborne multi-tube launchers, have not received standard designations (this was actually specified in the original version of the designation system, see note above).
