	Sea Wolf missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sea Wolf is powered by the Blackcap solid-fuel rocket to a maximum velocity of Mach 2 and can intercept targets in the range of 300 to 6500m and 10 to 3000m in altitude.
		Sea Wolf also suffered from problems with hardware failure causing launches to fail, and broken lock resulting from the extreme sea conditions and the Argentine's low altitude hit-and-run tactics.
		As of 1991 Sea Wolf/LWTis said to have a 70% hit chance and VL Sea Wolf is said to have 80% kill rate.

	ScienceDaily: Sea Cat missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sea Cat was a British short-range surface to air missile system intended to replace the ubiquitous Bofors 40 mm gun aboard warships of all sizes.
		Sea Cat was designed by Short Brothers of Belfast for use against fast jet aircraft that were proving to be too difficult for the WWII-era Bofors guns to successfully intercept.
		Sea Cat was widely used in NATO and Commonwealth navies that purchased British equipment and has been used with a wide array of guidance systems.

	The Falkland Islands Conflict, 1982: Air Defense Of The Fleet
		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.
		It is interesting to note that a Type 21 frigate armed with the Sea Cat missile and two 20mm guns was expected to engage a modern aircraft, whereas a World War II ship of the same size had 12 to 16 40mm and 12 20mm guns to shoot down a propeller driven aircraft.
		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.

	SEA WOLF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sea Wolf ~s a fully automatic point defence system with radio command to line-of-sight guidance coupled with radar differential or low light TV tracking.
		The missile's maneuverability and speed allows it to engage small Mach 2 anti-ship missiles and aircraft targets under severe weather conditions and sea states down to low altitudes.
		Further to improve the missile's capabilities and range, a vertical-launch capability, first demonstrated in 1968 from HMS Loch Fada when it was considered to be of low priority, will be used aboard the new Type 23 'Daring' class frigates when they are eventually ordered.

	British Surface To Air Missiles
		Sea Cat was designed by Shorts to deal with the problem of fast aircraft at close range as the weapons and targetting systems of WW2 were not up to the job.
		Sea Wolf was designed by BAC as an entirely automatic missile system to reduce the chance of human error, and to decrease reaction time.
		Sea Wolf first became operational on the Type 22 frigates, and was retrofitted to the Leanders.

	Falkland Islands - A history of the 1982 conflict
		The guns and missile units of the Rapier anti-aircraft units were carried by the eight Sea King HC4s of 846 Squadron flying from the RFA Fort Austin, which was acting as a helicopter carrier.
		A Sea King with an underslung load of mortar ammunition, along with a Gazelle from 3 Brigade's 656 Squadron C Flight on a reconnaissance mission came over Port San Carlos while the Paras were still clearing the settlement.
		With an inexplicable fault in the Sea Cat missile system, and the 4.5 inch gun unable to bear on the aircraft, the defence of the ship was reduced to the 20 mm Oerlikon cannons and machine guns strapped to the ship's rails.

		Even if the missile defense system worked as hoped, 250 missiles, along with decoys and chaff that are easily developed and deployed, would be enough to quickly and easily overwhelm it.
		Missile defense is corporate welfare for companies who would otherwise have much harder times of it without them.

		Because Britain is an island and no point in the UK is more than 74 miles (120 km) from the sea, any enemy power (at least, before aircraft) would have had to cross the sea in order to attack the island.

		Because Britain is an island and no point in the UK is more than 74 miles (120 km) from the sea, any enemy power (at least, pre-aircraft) would have to cross the sea to be able to attack the nation and any that achieved naval superiority would put the nation in great peril.
		It was also vital in guarding the sea lanes that enabled Britain to fight in remote parts of the world such as North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Far East.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot - DDG History
		In a break from tradition the Perth Class Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG) were not built or designed by the British but were the first major warships to be built for the Royal Australian Navy outside of Australia in the USA by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, MICHIGAN, USA.
		Some purists may argue that the RAN's entry into the missile age had already been achieved by the use of the Sea Cat Missile Sytem fitted to the River Class Frigates.
		However the Sea Cat System relied upon a manual operator, using manual guidance inputs with visual line of sight to the missile itself as well as the target.
