Missiles

They are electronically tested while still inside the launch tube by Missile Technicians, for Ballistic Missiles aboard FBM submarines. Aboard Fast-Attacks, Torpedomen perform the same test on Tomahawk, Harpoon or Subroc missiles with an electronic diagnostic device. They are also actively tested by shooting exercise weapons at Naval ocean test ranges. This is how the boat and crew is certified for handling and launching the weapons it carries.

All test are performed inside the torpedo or launch tube. This is a direct result of the sinking of the submarine Scorpion in 1969. Though there continues to be speculation concerning her fate, one major conclusion was that she experienced a torpedo "hot run" - the term for a torpedo activating inside the torpedo room. In those days, the old Mk 37 torpedoes were also electronically checked, but they had problems with hot runs. Until the Scorpion accident, no previous occurrence had led to a casualty.

The primary evidence for a hot run scenario was her location and course on the bottom of the ocean. At the time, she was transiting home after a long Mediterranean deployment; when found, she was almost 180 degrees off course. This is consistent with torpedo shut-down procedures in a hot run scenario. All torpedoes have range activation features to keep them from becoming active too close to the shooting submarine - being sunk by your own torpedo was a big problem for US boats in WW2. In fact, the USS Tang was sunk by an errant torpedo.

One feature to deactivate the torpedo is to turn 180 degrees - if a torpedo errantly turns 180 degrees, it will automatically shut down before arming. The fact that every compartment of the Scorpion except the Torpedo Room was crushed meant that the TR was already flooded - meaning that they failed to shut it down before it armed and detonated.

After that, testing procedures for all weapons were changed so that required checks had to be performed inside a tube to eject a hot running weapon. However, the safety record of the current Mk-48 torpedo led the Navy to remove HR procedures over 20 years ago, when I was still riding boats.

The Polaris SLBM program started in 1956; the first successful launch from the USS George Washington (SSBN-598) was on July 20, 1960. Later in 1961 the Polaris A-2 SLBM entered active service in the Navy's submarine fleet.

Guided missiles have small fins or wings attached to them, and use them to alter the aerodynamics of the missile, in the same way that a plane with wings (and aerilons/flaps) does. The difference is that in a missile, the small fins/winglets aren't providing lift of any sort (the missile body does that, combined with the very high thrust of the motor engine), and are merely steering.

So, a missile flies through the air using the same principles as an aircraft.

The tail fin serves to guide, steer and stabilze the missile.

USA, Russia, France, Britain, China, Pakistan India..these countries have the best missiles so far

It can be used to engage any target it's capable of locking onto. 'Anti-ship' is simply the purpose of its design.

The Cuban Missile Crisis had to do with the fact that the United States had been taking extensive advantage of the relative inability for Soviet missiles to hit the U.S. during the early 1960's. In the United States, a lot of intelligence said that the nuclear war would be limited to maybe a few metropolitan centers in the continental United States, because Soviet missiles weren't reliable enough to reach a good distance into the continental U.S. like say, Kansas or Nebraska.

The Soviets, if they had launched from major bases they had, like Khabarovsk, or Poltava, the distance for those missiles was at least 4,500 miles; which gave the Americans a LOT of time to take cover once the missiles were discovered to have been launched.

It wasn't a big deal. However, 90 miles distance [as it was from Cuba], meant the Russians had not only the whole continental US under the eye of nuclear warheads, but the "runaway" effect that the Americans were taking advantage was gone. It would be like Al-Qaeda moving from the middle of Afghanistan, and then moving base to 100 miles south of the Mexican border. Even though the U.S. was doing it to the Soviets at the time, when the tables were turned, it created a lot of fear in the U.S. because it went from a "somebody else" problem to a "it could easily be me" problem within 24 hours.

For the Soviets, they loved the fact that they were striking fear in the U.S. and they liked the expansion of their capabilities, so when the U.S. threatened them, they used the prior missile silos they set up in Cuba to pressure the U.S. into backing down. The administration at the time did not like it, so we pressured back, with a naval blockade. At that time, once news media of the time got the go-ahead, the crisis was publicized.

Americans watched as they heard reports that U.S. warships blockaded Cuba, that the Soviets were threatening nuclear retaliation, and the nervousness escalated to where both the U.S. and the Soviet Union were deploying strategic nuclear missiles to devastate the other, including a few in Cuba. The nervousness led to an almost complete and total breakdown to nuclear blows. Although the U.S. could on the whole, still stand after the nuclear strikes; the new edge that was delivered in Cuba by the Russian missile systems caused the two parties, America and the Soviet Union to come to a compromise. The U.S. would take out missile silos within a center range of Russian cities, and the Soviets would respond in kind.

That, my friend, is the story of the Cuban missile crisis.

No. Heat seeking missiles can travel pretty far but cannot fly all over the World.

No, it struck an iceberg.

A missile has three major components. The propulsion system moves the missile and contains the fuel. The guidance system steers and guides the missile on its flight. Then there is the payload, typically an explosive.

Air bronchograms occur when there is pulmonary infiltration or edema (swelling) in the tissues immediately adjacent to the bronchi. air-filled bronchi are seen as radiolucent, branching bands within pulmonary densities. Indicates involvement of lung parenchyma.

Ballistic Missile Submarine patrols are meant to provide the sea-based leg of the nation's strategic nuclear defense triad (sea, air, and land based strike/defense capability).

FBM submarines are given a designated area to patrol, that puts them within range of their targets should an order ever come. They avoid all contact with ships or other submarines, and do not respond via radio unless in emergencies or specifically instructed to by their respective commands.

FBM's have 2 crews that rotate every 3 months. One month is spent for transfer and refit of the boat, and the other 2 months are spent for transit and actual patrol time.

the V1 flying bomb was invented to bomb England in world war 2 and first flew in 1942 so that meaks it about 58 years old.

if this is wrong please correct.

Answer They used unguided rockets. Basically a rocket that fired in the direction it was pointed. Aircraft like the US Navy Corsair and the British Typhoon used rockets for ground attacks. The Germans developed a guided bomb that they could control it as it fell on the target. The bomb was called Fritz.

They could have hit targets in roughly half the territory of the 48 contiguous states.
