Penguin Mk 2 Missile | The Penguin anti-ship missile, designated AGM-119 by the U.S. military, is a Norwegian passive IR seeker-based short-to-medium range anti-ship guided missile, designed for naval use. | |
Mark 45 Torpedo Mod 1(Mk45) | The Mk45 was the only nuclear torpedo in service with the USN, intended for use against high-speed, deep-diving, enemy submarines. Westinghouse also marketed a conventional version as the 'Freedom Torpedo'. The Mod 1 is a conjectural weapon assuming nuclear torpedoes would be 'field modified' in a conventional war. | |
Mark 16 Torpedo (Mk16) | These straight-running WW2-vintage torpedoes were in service as anti-ship weapons until 1972, when they were replaced (along with the Mk37 ASW torpedo) by the dual-purpose Mk48. Guidance is limited to a gyro angle and hit probability is low at anything over point-blank range. | |
Mark 37 Mod 2 Torpedo (Anti-Submarine Torpedo) | The Mark 37 Mod 1 Torpedos were withdrawn from service and refurbished and reissued as Mod 2 Torpedos with deliveries beginning in 1967. The refurbishing involved many changes, one of note being the switch from magnetostrictive to ceramic piezolectric transducers. This change extended the acquisition range to 1000 yards and avoided loss of sensitivity with depth. | |
Mark 37 Mod 3 Torpedo (Anti-Submarine Torpedo) | The Mark 37 Mod 0 was the standard US Submarine Launced ASW torpedo of the 1960's, this is the Mark 37 Mod 3 is a free-running Passive-Active Homming Torpedo. This is the upgraded version of the Mark 37 Mod 0 Torpedo, featuring improved sensors, and active run time, however the maximum unactivated range remains the same. | |
NT37C Torpedo | The NT37C is a significantly-upgraded Otto-fueled version of the Mark 37 that was primarily used for export. Canada, Italy, and Isreal, among others, all used this torpedo on thier subs as a primary dual-purpose weapon. | |
Mark 48 ADCAP Torpedo (Mk48) | The Mark 48 ADCAP is an improvement of the Mk48 boasting increased speed and better electronics, allowing it to effectively engage faster and deeper diving enemy submarines, such as the Alfa. | |
Mark 48 Torpedo (Mk48) | The Mk48 is an advanced dual-purpose torpedo in service with the US Navy since 1972 where it has replaced the Mk14 and Mk37 torpedoes. It combines great speed and an advanced passive/active homing system along with an impressive range of 3000 yards. | |
Mark 50 Torpedo | The Mark 50 torpedo was a U.S. Navy advanced lightweight torpedo for use against fast, deep-diving submarines intended to replace the Mk 46 as the fleet's lightweight torpedo. | |
Mark 46 Mod 5 NEARTIP Torpedo | The Mark 46 Mod 5 NEARTIP Upgrade kit for the Mark 46 with more powerful Mk 103 Mod 1 warhead, improved computer with snake search pattern capability, new passive/active sonar, liquid fuel, and two speed engine for low speed search and high speed attack. Introduced in 1979. NEARTIP stands for Near Term Improvement Program. | |
Mark 46 Mod 0 Torpedo | The Mark 46 is the US Navy's standard airdropped passive/active torpedo. Being a smaller weapon, it packs less of a punch, but is carried by helicopters, aircraft and serves as the payload for the RUR-5 ASROC rocket assisted torpedo. The guidance system has a range of 1600 yards. | |
Mark 70 Mobile Submarine Simulator (MOSS) | The MK70 is a passive decoy that attempts to simulate the sound of a submarine to lure enemy passive sonar. It is launched on a straight track and remains at the launch depth, which means a submarine can launch it and escape on the opposite side of the layer. | |
UGM-96 Trident I | The UGM-96 Trident I is a U.S. Navy submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) that first entered service in 1979. It was a major development over the proceeding Poseidan SLBM, as it allowed ballistic missile submarines to launch nuclear strikes from the central Atlantic Ocean. This in turn kept them safe from Soviet ASW forces. The missile was then retrofitted into several of the older SSBN classes and Ohio-class submarines. It remained in service until 2005, when it was replaced by the UGM-133 Trident II. | |
Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) | Land attack version of the UGM-109 Tomahawk missile. It carries either a conventional high-explosive warhead or cluster munitions. Advanced contour matching and terrain-following radar allows its destructive power to be delivered with pin-point accuracy. | |
Tomahawk Missile (TASM) | This is the anti-ship version of the UGM-109 Tomahawk missile. Compared to the Harpoon, it is faster and packs a significantly larger punch. However being larger makes it a bigger target for CIWS. | |
Harpoon Missile (UGM-84) | The Sub-Harpoon has equipped US submarines and their allies since the early 70's. Although a small weapon, with a small warhead and comparatively slow it is very effective against small enemies lacking anti-missile defences. Against better armed targets they probably best launched in salvos to guarantee a hit. | |
RIM-66A Standard Missile 1 MR | Special: Surface-to-Air & Anti-Ship Missile The RIM-66 Standard is an medium range surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti ship missile originally developed for the United States Navy. The RIM-67 was developed as a replacement for the RIM-8 Talos, a 1950s system deployed on a variety of USN ships, and eventually replaced the RIM-2 Terrier as well, since it was of a similar size and fitted existing Terrier launchers and magazines. The RIM-66 Standard MR was essentially the same missile without the booster stage, designed to replace the RIM-24 Tartar. The RIM-66/67 series thus became the US Navy's universal SAM system, hence the "Standard Missile" moniker. Guidance system is universal and allows switch between missile, aircraft and ship-attack mode. Mode can be switched in the weapon settings just before launch. |
|
RIM-66C Standard Missile 2 MR | Special: Surface-to-Air & Anti-Ship Missile The RIM-66C Standard MR (SM-2MR Block I) was developed in the 1970s and was a key part of the Aegis combat system and New Threat Upgrade (NTU). The SM-2MR introduced inertial and command mid-course guidance. The missile's autopilot is programmed to fly the most efficient path to the target and can receive course corrections from the ground. Target illumination for semi-active homing is needed only for a few seconds in the terminal phase of the interception. This capability enables the Aegis combat system and New Threat Upgrade equipped vessels to time share illumination radars, greatly increasing the number of targets that can be engaged in quick succession |
|
RIM-66E Standard Missile 1 MR | Special: Surface-to-Air & Anti-Ship Missile The RIM-66E was the last version of the Standard Missile One Medium-Range (SM-1MR). This version entered service in 1983 with the United States Navy. The RIM-66E was used by the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates which controlled it with the Mk92 fire control system. Production of this missile ended in 1987; however there are a large number of this model in service and it is expected to remain viable until 2020. The missile features monopulse seeker developed for SM-2, a MK 45 MOD 4 proximity fuze (also known as TDD - Target Detection Device), the MK 115 warhead of SM-2, and MK 45 MOD 6 and MK 45 MOD 7 proximity fuzes. |
|
RIM-66M-5 Standard Missile 2 MR | Special: Surface-to-Air & Anti-Ship Missile The RIM-66M-5 (SM-2MR Block IIIB) is the version of the Standard missile two medium range (SM-2MR) entered serive in 1998, with the USN aboard Ticonderoga class cruisers, and Arleigh Burke class destroyers. The missile is specifically designed for the Aegis Combat System and the Mk41 Vertical launch system. The Block IIIB missiles differ from earlier blocks by the addition of the MK 45 MOD 9 target detecting device, for improved performance against low altitude targets, and dual semi-active/infrared seeker for terminal homing. The dual seeker is intended for use in high-ECM environments, against targets over the horizon or with a small radar cross section. The seeker was originally developed for the canceled AIM-7R Sparrow air-to-air missile. |
|
RIM-67A Standard Missile 1 ER | Special: Surface-to-Air & Anti-Ship Missile The RIM-67 Standard ER (SM-1ER/SM-2ER) is an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti ship missile originally developed for the United States Navy. The RIM-67 was developed as a replacement for the RIM-8 Talos, a 1950s system deployed on a variety of USN ships, and eventually replaced the RIM-2 Terrier as well, since it was of a similar size and fitted existing Terrier launchers and magazines. The RIM-66 Standard MR was essentially the same missile without the booster stage, designed to replace the RIM-24 Tartar. The RIM-66/67 series thus became the US Navy's universal SAM system, hence the "Standard Missile" moniker. Guidance system is universal and allows switch between missile, aircraft and ship-attack mode. Mode can be switched in the weapon settings just before launch. |
|
RIM-7 Sea Sparrow SAM | Special: Universal RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is a U.S. ship-borne short-range anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapon system, primarily intended for defense against anti-ship missiles. The system was developed in the early 1960s from the AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile as a lightweight "point-defense" weapon that could be retrofitted to existing ships as quickly as possible, often in place of existing gun-based anti-aircraft weapons. In this incarnation, it was a very simple system guided by a manually aimed radar illuminator. After its introduction, the system underwent significant development into an automated system similar to other US Navy missiles like the RIM-2 Terrier. Contemporary improvements being made to the Sparrow for the air-to-air role led to similar improvements in the Sea Sparrow through the 1970s and 80s. Guidance system is universal and allows switch between missile, aircraft and ship-attack mode. Mode can be switched in the weapon settings just before launch. |

It was developed for use against US Navy aircraft carrier battle groups, as well as large merchant targets such as supertankers or superfreighters. Wake-homing torpedoes should be aimed to cross wake behind ship's stern. Surfaced submarines can also be hit with WH torpedoes. Due to its size it can be loaded only into 650mm torpedo tubes. Also, bigger size means that it takes more time to load. |
|
SAET-60M Torpedo | Special: Anti-ship only. The SAET-60M is an anti-ship torpedo specifically designed for the self-defense from ASW assets. It can lock only on surface targets and useless against submerged submarines. Due to it passive sensor system and the anti-ship only usage, its effective sensor range is four times smaller than specified and is about 600m (656 yards). |
|
VA-111 Shkval Torpedo | Special: Piercing. The VA-111 Shkval supercavitating torpedo originally developed by the Soviet Union. It is capable of speeds in excess of 200 knots. While it has weak warhead on paper, it is capable of dealing tremendous damage because due to high speed it pierces ship's hull and detonates inside, which often leads to detonation of ship's munitions or fuel. |
|
AT-1 ASW Torpedo | Special: ASW The AT-1 is an 4th generation electrical air-dropped torpedo with active/passive acoustic guidance carried only by helicopters. Will not lock on surface targets. |
|
AT-2 ASW Torpedo | Special: ASW The AT-2 is an 4th generation electrical heavy-weight, anti-submarine, air-launched torpedo with active/passive acoustic guidance. Carried by aircraft and some ASW missiles. Will not lock on surface targets. In order to achieve the requested range, speed and detection range, a large diameter torpedo was required. This makes the AT-2 one of the few air-launched heavy-weight torpedoes developed during the Cold War. The majority of the air-launched torpedoes are much smaller and only a quarter of the weight. These features preclude the operability of this torpedo from anti-submarine helicopters. While there is a number of modifications of AT-2 in real world, they are represented by a single version in the game since their differences are irrelevant gamewise. |
|
UGMT-1 ASW Torpedo | Special: ASW 4th generation electrical torpedo that equips most Soviet helicopters, ASW aircraft and serves as the payload for the SS-N-14 and SS-N-16 ASW missiles.

|
U.S.S.R.\n MG-74 "Korund-2"\n 533mm-cal Self-Propelled Decoy | The MG-74 is a passive decoy that attempts to simulate the sound of a submarine to lure enemy passive sonar. It is launched on a straight track and remains at the launch depth, which means a submarine can launch it and escape on the opposite side of the layer. | |
R27 SLBM | The R-27 (NATO: SS-N-5 Sark/Serb), was submarine-launched ballistic missile in service with the Soviet Union between 1963 and 1989. It was the first Soviet nuclear missile that could be launched from a submerged submarine, and also had twice the range of earlier missiles. It replaced the R-11FM and R-13 (SS-N-4) on many Golf and Hotel-class submarines, and was in turn superseded by the R-27 (SS-N-6 'Serb') missile carried by Yankee-class submarines. | |
R27 SLBM | The R-27 (NATO: SS-N-6 Serb), was one of the first Soviet SLBM's capable of being launched while completely submerged. The first and only installations where on the Yankee I-class SSBN starting in 1968, and it was finally withdrawn by 1988, with the SALT treaties. | |

|
"Amethyst" Missile | P-70 "Amethyst" (NATO reporting name: SS-N-7 Starbright) is a high-subsonic cruise missile designed for the Papa and Charlie 1-class submarines. Earlier submarines of the Echo and Juliet classes used the SS-N-3 Shaddock supersonic cruise missile, whose mid-course guidance required the launching submarine to stay surfaced for long periods. The SS-N-7 instead uses submerged launch, and the relatively short range of the missile means no midcourse guidance is necessary and the submarine can use its own sensors for targeting. | |
P-700 "Granit" Missile | Special: Universal The P-700 "Granit"(NATO reporting name: SS-N-19 Shipwreck) is a Russian naval anti-ship/land-attack cruise missile. It comes in surface-to-surface and submarine-launched variants. It was designed in the 1970s to replace the P-70 Ametist and P-120 Malakhit, both effective missiles but with too short a range in the face of improving weapons of U.S. Navy carrier battlegroups. Guidance system is universal and allows switch between ship-attack and land-attack mode. Mode can be switched in the weapon settings just before launch. |
|
URK-5 "Rastrub-B" Anti-ship/Anti-sub Missile | Special: Dual-purpose URK-5 "Rastrub-B" (NATO classification: SS-N-14 Silex) is a modernization of an URPK-3 "Metel'".

Mark 8 Mod 4 Torpedo | The Mark VIII was the first burner-cycle torpedo in service. Although the original design dates from the 1920s, those manufactured during and after World War II were to a much-modified design. The Mark 8** was the British torpedo most used during World War II and was supplied to destroyers and MTBs as well as submarines. This torpedo was still in front-line use as late as 1982 during the Falklands War when the submarine HMS Conqueror fired three Mod 4 torpedoes at the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano. | |
Spearfish Heavyweight Torpedo | The Spearfish torpedo (formally Naval Staff Target 7525) is the heavy torpedo used by the submarines of the Royal Navy. It can be guided by wire or by autonomous active or passive sonar, and provides both anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface ship warfare (ASuW) capability. Spearfish development began in the 1970s, with production starting in 1988, and deployment in 1992. By 2004, they had completely replaced the older Tigerfish torpedo. | |
Sting Ray ASW Torpedo | The Sting Ray is a British acoustic homing lightweight torpedo (LWT) manufactured by GEC-Marconi, who were later bought out by BAE Systems. It entered service in 1983. | |
Mark 24 "Tigerfish" Heavyweight Torpedo | The Mark 24 Tigerfish was a heavyweight acoustic homing torpedo used by the Royal Navy during the 1980s and 90s. Conceptual development dates to the mid-1950s, and formally started in 1959 with a target introduction date in 1969. The first prototype "Tigerfish" examples were delivered in 1967. | |
Exocet Missile (MM40) | The Exocet is a French-built anti-ship missile whose various versions can be launched from surface vessels, submarines, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The Exocet saw its first wartime launch during the Falklands War. | |
GWS.24 Seacat SAM | Seacat was a British short-range surface-to-air missile system intended to replace the ubiquitous Bofors 40 mm gun aboard warships of all sizes. It was the world's first operational shipboard point-defence missile system, and was designed so that the Bofors guns could be replaced with minimum modification to the recipient vessel and (originally) using existing fire-control systems. | |
GWS.30 Sea Dart SAM | Sea Dart was a Royal Navy surface-to-air missile system designed in the 1960s and entering service in 1973. It was fitted to the Type 42 destroyers, Type 82 destroyer and Invincible-class aircraft carrier. Originally developed by Hawker Siddeley, the missile was built by British Aerospace after 1977. It was withdrawn from service in 2012. The system a number of confirmed successful engagements in combat, including six aircraft, a helicopter and an anti-ship missile. It is believed to be the first ship-borne SAM system to destroy an AShM in combat. The Sea Dart was also operated by the Argentinean Navy on their pair of Type 42 Destroyers. |
