Torpedo
The term for the self-propelled missile or vehicle is "rocket."The similar proper noun, a New York dance company, is the Rockettes.
The root of missile is miss-, meaning "sent" (c.f. missive, mission).
Missile Deffence Alarming System
The world situation was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviets had started to build an arsenal of missiles on the island. The US feared medium and long-range missiles could be launched against North and South America, meaning US, Canada, Mexico, and as far as Peru.
The anit-aircraft missile was intimidating.
Torpedo
The modern definition of a torpedo is a self-propelled underwater missile. (see related question)
A self-propelled missile launched from a ship or submarine is commonly referred to as a cruise missile. These missiles are designed to travel at a steady speed and altitude, allowing for precision targeting of ground or sea-based targets. They typically utilize guidance systems such as GPS or inertial navigation to navigate to their intended destination. Examples include the Tomahawk missile, widely used by the U.S. Navy.
It's a submarine-launched ballistic missile system comprised of the Trident missile, the special Trident warheads and the Ohio-class ballistic missile sub.
The Soviet Union built 4 new classes of submarine-launched ballistic missiles and over 60 new missile submarines.
The M45 submarine-launched ballistic missile was first tested in 1986. It was fired in 2004 from the Vigilant at a target near French Guinea, which it hit.
Trident Ballistic Missile Submarine
In the American submarine force their are two types of missiles: 1. Tomahawk® Land Attack Missile (TLAM) 2. Sea-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warhead is what is deployed on a SLBM. The TLAM can carry a conventional warhead or a single nuclear warhead.
An ALBM is an air-launched ballistic missile, a ballistic missile launched from a bomber.
The answer to this multiple-choice question was a torpedo. The reason that the question specifies "usually" is that ASW aircraft can launch torpedoes.(The word missile in military usage always means self-propelled weapons.)The ASROC is a rocket-boosted torpedo, and many other types of missiles are launched from ships and submarines, including cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk. Trident (FBM) submarines can launch strategic ICBMs.*All submarine weapons are actually ejected from the vessel prior to its activation: torpedoes are ejected by water impulse, as are SUBROC, Harpoon, and Tomahawk missiles. Their motors start once they've cleared a certain range from the vessel. Ballistic missiles are ejected by air impulse - launch is near the surface, and the missile is ejected into a pocket of air or steam where the rocket motor ignites.
A TRIDENT Submarine most likely refers to the US Navy's OHIO Class Submarines (18 of these were built) They often bear the name of TRIDENT because they were designed to carry Trident Missiles - a submarine launched intercontinental ballistic missile with nuclear warheads.
A missile is a self-propelled weapon designed to be launched at a target. It typically carries an explosive payload and is guided by a system that directs it to its intended destination. Missiles are used in military applications for purposes such as defense, offense, and strategic deterrence.
