RGM-84 Harpoon

The RGM-84 Harpoon is an advanced missile used primarily by ships and submarines to target enemy vessels. It is designed to fly silently toward its target, guided by radar during its flight, to accurately strike ships from a distance. Typically about 13 feet long, it can reach speeds over Mach 0.85 (roughly 650 mph). Its range varies from 70 to over 150 miles, depending on the version. The Harpoon enhances naval defense by providing a precise, long-range tool for maritime threats, combining electronics and aerodynamics to locate and destroy enemy ships effectively.
