	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.

	Ministry of Defence \| Defence News \| HMS Chatham successfully test-fires Sea Wolf missiles
		The ship had originally been due to fire just one test missile from each of her forward and aft launchers, but then the opportunity arose to conduct salvo firings where two missiles are fired simultaneously at the same target.
		It was then a case of firing live missiles and, as the target again hurtled towards the ship, the forward missile doors opened and two huge plumes of flames appeared as the operations room team gave the traditional Naval cry of 'birds away'.
		The first then hit the target, simultaneously exploding and shredding the target to pieces and, such was the accuracy of the system, that the second missile, close behind, tracked the shrapnel down towards the sea and exploded when it hit the largest piece of the debris caused by the first missile.

		10/27/2004 10:03:03 AM The thing is, given that a ballistic missile with some sort of terminal guidance would be comming straight down onto the ship; a short range system such as Sea Wolf would not be particluarly effective, as some debri would still be very likely to smash into the ship..
		A missile like the Sea Wolf was designed to knock these types of missiles out of the sky and does it quite well.
		Also don't forget that if the missile does get into its final stage and is hit then it won't be able to guide itself anymore and the ship could probably just move out of the way of any debris.

	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 1000 to 6000m 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, and multiple targets and crossing targets - neither of which it was designed to intercept.
		Missiles are launched vertically by a booster motor to clear the ship's super-structure and rapidly flipped onto their flight path by thrust vectoring.The boost and vectoring stages then separate.

	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 7 confirmed kills (plus one British Gazelle helicopter by friendly fire).

		Sea Wolf is passed targets from higher systems (such as surveillance radar, fleet AEW cover or ship-borne passive ESM systems) which it then locks using its own radar.
		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.

	Sea Cat missile Information
		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.

	Spartanburg SC \| GoUpstate.com \| Spartanburg Herald-Journal
		Derived from the launch systems developed for ballistic missiles aboard SSBNs, a VLS forms a scaled-down equivalent for launching cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk and surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) such as the Standard missile.
		The advantage of the cold-launch system is in its safety: should the missile engine malfunction while the warhead is armed to detonate during firing, the hot-launch system could be doomed, but the cold-launch system can still eject the missile out of the cell and eliminate or reduce the threat.
		In case of the failure of the ignition of the rocket motor after the missile has been ejected, the launching tubes are tilted 5 degrees instead of being absolutely perpendicular, so that the missile with the failed motor would not fall back onboard.

	SEA WOLF (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

		The drawback to a VLS is that, unlike torpedo tubes, it cannot be reloaded at sea without significant support from ships such as a submarine tender or a trip to a submarine base.
		It is capable of carrying an extremely wide range of missiles, including the Sea Sparrow naval self defense, short range SAM, SM-2 medium range/long range SAM/SSM, VLA anti-submarine missile with Mk-46 torpedo warhead, very similar to the ASROC, and the Tomahawk cruise missile (long range strike, an anti-ship version used to exist).
		The shorter-ranged SA-N-9 Gauntlet is another VLS missile, used on the Kirov-class, Udaloy-class and the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.
