	Sea Dart missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sea Dart began as Hawker Siddeley project CF.299, a weapon to replace the Royal Navy's first generation long-range surface-to-air missile, the Sea Slug.
		The missile system was also fitted to Invincible class aircraft carrier but was removed during refits in the 1998-2000 period to increase the area of the flight deck and below-decks stowage associated with the operation of RAF Harrier GR9 aircraft.
		Sea Dart was used during the Falklands War and is credited with 8 confirmed kills.

		Sea Dart was used during the Falklands War and is credited with 8 confirmed kills, including a high-flying ''Canberra'' reconnaissance aircraft outside the official engagement envelope and low-flying attack aircraft.
		These shortcomings were more damning of the Type 42 destroyer than Sea Dart itself, as the latter were fitted with obsolete 1950s-era radar Type 965 and had no other defence against aircraft apart from a pair of World War 2-vintage 20mm guns.
		In February 1991, during the first Gulf War, the battleship USS ''Missouri'', the Sea Dart carrying HMS ''Gloucester'' and the Phalanx CIWS-equipped USS ''Jarrett'' were engaged by an Iraqi Silkworm missile (also known as a ''Seersucker'').

		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.
		The Sea Dart missile itself introduces further delays since it requires a two minute warm-up period on the launcher while its gyros line up.16 Unfortunately, it is not feasible to keep a warmed-up missile on the launcher indefinitely, especially in the cold weather.
		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.

		The Sea Dart had a vee-shaped hull, and its internal spaces were organized as multiple watertight compartments to keep it afloat if battle damaged.
		The Sea Dart could not take off or land on a runway, but each of the hydro-skis had a small wheel at the end, and a third small wheel was mounted near the rear of the aircraft to allow it taxi onto or off of a seaplane ramp.
		The Sea Dart was, to nobody's surprise, badly underpowered with its J34 engines and remained solidly subsonic.

		The Sea Harrier FA2, introduced in 1993, is highly regarded by the United States Air Force as the "small aircraft with the big radar" and regularly beats the RAF's frontline fighter, the Tornado F3, in mock "dog fights".
		The last layer of detection is provided by Sea King helicopter early warning aircraft, which normally operate not far from the centre of the fleet with a detection capability of about 40 nautical miles.
		The sombre reality is that, after the withdrawal of the Sea Harrier, the "last ditch" layer of air detection and defence, the early warning helicopter and weapons systems, would be easily saturated and overcome by enemy aircraft delivering air-to-surface missiles, Smart weapons and even iron bombs.

	AN ALTERNATIVE ROYAL NAVY FOR THE 1970s
		The Sea Dart and Sea Wolf SAMs were introduced to replace Sea Slug and Sea Cat, and Exocet anti-ship and Ikara anti-submarine missiles acquired.
		The Sea Dart was an advanced SAM when introduced, with the advantage over the similar-sized USN SM missiles of an efficient ramjet engine which put its range in the same class as the bigger Extended Range missiles.
		Equipping Invincible with Sea Wolf would have reduced the risk to the carrier, possibly enabling her to operate closer to the battle zone to the benefit of Sea Harrier availability.

		Active weapon systems, guns and missiles are deployed in layers to provide added security in case the first line of defence does not succeed in neutralising the threat.
		Missiles provide the outer layer of defence and inner layers are pro-vided by a combination of guns and missiles.
		The fielding of long-range surface-to-surface missiles such as the Exocet and Harpoon in the 1970s led many navies to consider that the gun was redundant as a defensive weapon against surface threats.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Destroyer Sheffield is sunk: 30 dead
		British forces in the South Atlantic suffered their first serious losses yesterday afternoon when the destroyer HMS Sheffield was hit and destroyed by an Argentinian missile and a Sea Harrier was shot down while attacking an airstrip on the Falklands.
		The missile is launched in the general direction of the target and then homes in on the biggest object its radar can detect.
		The only defensive weapon the Royal Navy has which is designed to take on a sea skimmer of this deadly kind is the Seawolf anti-missile missile, mounted on the two Type 22 frigates, Broadsword and Brilliant which seem to have been keeping close guard on the carriers for this reason.

		The loss of the Sea Harriers from 2006 will mean that for the next decade any Royal Navy expedition will have to enlist the help of an American aircraft carrier to provide the planes needed to protect the fleet, he will claim.
		Admiral Sir Nigel Essenhigh, the First Sea Lord, is retiring three months early amid widespread speculation that he is unhappy about the funding issue after accepting the decision to axe the Sea Harriers.
		Warships regularly put out to sea without their full crew complement; another frigate, HMS Sheffield, was effectively decommissioned last month; and the attack submarine fleet will shrink from 12 to 10 over the next couple of years, according to the Conservative Research Department.

	Invincible Class Aircraft Carrier
		There was still a requirement to fly anti-submarine helicopters though, and for a new class of ship to act as the command and control centre for a task force.
		As the Government of the day was not prepared to finance such a class of vessel as an aircraft carrier, the Navy came up with a number of euphemisms to hide the true nature of these vessels, such as calling them Through Deck Command Cruisers, and side elevation sketches showing a conventional profile.
		While the first of class was under construction changes were announced, which included the ordering of twenty-four Sea Harriers, to carry out the interceptor role, and would be equipped with the Ferranti Blue Fox monopulse radar, an integrated nav/attack system, provision for air-to-air missiles and a heads-up display.

		The FA.2 (Fighter Attack) is a development of its predecessor the Sea Harrier FRS1 (Fighter/ Reconnaissance/Strike) concentrating on the avionics and weapons system of the aircraft giving it a much improved air-to-air combat capability, essential to its main task of providing a carrier group with air defence.
