		GWS-1 Sea Slug was a moderately successful design that came into service with the Royal Navy on County Class destroyers in the 1950s.
		Sea Slug was the result of the development programme to meet Stage 1 of the postwar SAM programme.
		Blue Slug was intended to use the existing launchers, Type 901 radar and guidance used for Sea Slug to attack surface vessels.

	Sea Slug missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sea Slug was a first generation surface-to-air missile designed by Armstrong Whitworth (later part of the Hawker Siddeley group) for use by the Royal Navy.
		Sea Slug Mark 1 finally entered service in 1961 on the County class destroyer fitted with a single, twin missile launcher.
		Sea Slug Mark 2 was based on the aborted Blue Slug programme for a nuclear-armed anti-ship missile using the Sea Slug missile and guidance system.

	Scrub Slug
		The term "scrub slug" is military slang for a class of large, "footed" ground vehicles, deriving from a more archaic reference to a class of scavenger vehicle that used this form of locomotion.
		Modern scrub slugs might actually be better referred to as "land carriers" or "mobile bases" than the scavenger vehicles they inherit their name from.
		As scrub slugs were never designed for actual combat operations, their relative bulk and slow speed of movement were never considered much of an issue.

	The Ultimate Anti-aircraft warfare Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		Starting in the post-World War II era the guns were joined by the guided missile, specifically the "surface-to-air missile", and today both are used in combination in most roles.
		Originally missiles were useful only as a replacement for the very largest of anti-aircraft guns, but by the 1960s they had been scaled down to the point where they were also replacing smaller weapons previously serviced by guns in the 40 mm to 57 mm range.
		Air defence by air forces is typically taken care of by fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles which is beyond the scope of this article, however most air forces choose to augment air base defence with surface-to-air missile systems as they are such valuable targets for enemy aircraft.

	DoD Defends New Sub-Launched Missiles
		The conventional Trident missile would be capable of hitting a fleeting target -- such as an enemy nuclear weapon being prepared for launch or terrorist leaders in an underground facility -- without using a nuclear warhead that runs a higher risk of killing innocent civilians nearby, according to a senior defense official.
		The Navy proposes to modify its D-5 missile with two different conventional warheads: a standard “slug” useful in penetrating buried targets and a “flechette” designed to attack larger targets on the surface, the official told reporters at a March 7 meeting.
		The submarine-launched missile is expected to have a flight time of just 12 to 24 minutes and could hit targets up to 6,000 miles away with an accuracy of 10 yards, said the senior official, who spoke on condition of not being named.

	The Secret Lives Of Sea Slugs
		The new research is significant because the sea slug known as Tritonia diomedea, a nudibranch mollusc species found in the shallow northeast Pacific, is important in laboratory studies of the how the brain controls behavior, a field known as neuroethology.
		The study sheds light on the sea slug's navigation, feeding, mating, and egg-laying behavior, and confirms that many of this creature's behaviors in the wild are similar to published descriptions of laboratory behavior.
		The goal of neuroethologists who study sea slugs in the laboratory is to link specific behaviors to their underlying neural controls.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		Adhering to a kamikaze-like, "battle of the first salvo" doctrine, the Soviet force of 96 ships was poised to launch approximately 13 surface-to-surface missiles (SSMs) at each task group in the U.S. 6th Fleet deployed in the Mediterranean.
		Captain 1st rank G. Kostev, the 5th Eskadra's first Deputy Chief of Southern TVD (Theater of Operations), notes that the Mediterranean squadron was "perhaps the most unusual formation of the Soviet Navy in the post-war period." The 5th Operational Eskadra was created in 1967 to counter the U.S. in a zone of vital American interests.
		Gravely threatened by Soviet cruise missiles, the U.S. carrier groups would have needed to preemptively destroy the weapons system radar in the masts as well as the missile and gun mounts, or to otherwise sink every Soviet warship within range before Soviet missiles reached their decks.

		Supersonic anti-ship missiles have the dubious advantage of high-speed with the drawbacks of dramatically greater cost, higher cruise altitudes (they can be detected by the target sooner) and an inability to perform evasive manuevers in the terminal phase of engagement.
		Large missiles are armoured and carry active electronic warfare systems on board, they also can use target's electronic countermeasures as a beacon, and they distinguish ships' radar signatures so they prefer more valuable targets within a group, like carriers.
		Some of their missiles are rated at able to score as much as 95% of the time, so it might be possible.

		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 Sea Dart decision was later repeated with the Invincible Class ASW aircraft carriers, but this time for more justifiable reasons given that these much smaller ships started life as helicopter-carrying [through deck] cruisers, to which a capability to operate a small force of STOVL Sea Harrier's was only added during construction.
