News W A T C H : The #Navys Smart New #Stealth Anti-Ship #Missile Can Plan Its Own Attack #WASHINGTON, -- Americas primary anti-ship missile, the Harpoon, has been in service now for close to 40 years and the Navy has been very reluctant to evolve when it comes to its anti-ship capabilities. Times are changing, with Chinas Navy on the rise and Russia flexing its muscle, the Cold War staple just wont do. Enter Lockheeds ninja-like Long Range Anti-Ship Missile to save the day.
