This old news was posted in 2004 by our learned ferns but it worths to look again.

Barak missiles in RSN missile converttes now can hit ship also.
Besides it can hit missile and aircraft,' but were recently adapted for use
against ships as well' STimes 02.06.2004.

Now ,there are 16 Barak and 8 Harpoon anti --ship missiles in each of the 6 corvette.
Total 24 anti- ship missiles in a ship!

Awesome!

The Barak has a secnodary role which is a close-in last ditch defense against small crafts (like terrorists speed boats).....

To call it a "anti ship missle" is really overdoing it!

I prefer the Tomahawk installed

fkh SG

Tomahawk is not for anti ship uses..

Previously, USN had a anti ship version of Tomahawk, but it abandoned this version because it was not accurate as another type of Tomahawk (Land Attack). Anti ship Tomahawk tend to hit wrong targets.

We are one of the navies that use missiles for point defense role.

Barak is short ranged…

YI SG

talk about point defense.. how on earth are you going to fit a MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) onto a corvette?

foxtrout8 SG

why not?

LazerLordz SG

I'm sure the MK15 will be alrite on the Deltas.Let the Asters be uprated to the Aster 30, and use them as surface to surface missiles.

foxtrout8 SG

This is a general misconception. Unlike the Barak, the Asters cannot be use as a surface to surface missile in general.
