}}</ref> is a [[guided missile]] that is designed for use against ships and large boats. Most anti-ship missiles are of the [[sea-skimming]] variety, and many use a combination of [[inertial navigation system|inertial guidance]] and [[active radar homing]]. A large number of other anti-ship missiles use [[infrared homing]] to follow the heat that is emitted by a ship; it is also possible for anti-ship missiles to be guided by radio command all the way.

Many anti-ship missiles can be launched from a variety of weapons systems including [[Surface combatant|surface warship]]s (also referred to as '''ship-to-ship missiles'''), [[submarine]]s, [[bomber]]s, [[fighter plane]]s, [[anti-submarine warfare|patrol plane]]s, [[helicopter]]s, [[shore battery|shore batteries]], land vehicles, and, conceivably, even [[infantry]]men firing shoulder-launched missiles. The term '''[[surface-to-surface missile]]''' (SSM) is used when appropriate. The longer-range anti-ship missiles are often called anti-ship [[cruise missile]]s. Several countries  are also developing [[anti-ship ballistic missile]]s.

==Etymology==

Both "AShM"<ref name="Ronald O'Rourke 14"/> and "ASM"<ref name="Peter Ong"/> are utilized interchangeably as an acronym for "anti-ship missile." "AShM" may be the preferred acronym when confusion with "[[air-to-surface missile]]" (commonly abbreviated as "ASM") may occur.

==History==
{{More citations needed|section|date=February 2022}}

During the [[Cold War]], the [[Soviet Union]] turned to a [[sea denial]] strategy concentrating on [[submarine]]s, [[naval mine]]s and the AShM. One of the first products of the decision was the [[P-15 Termit|SS-N-2 Styx]] missile. Further products were to follow, and they were soon loaded onto the [[Soviet Air Force]]'s [[Tu-95 Bear]] and [[Tu-22|Tu-22 Blinder]] bombers, in the case of the air-launched [[KS-1 Komet]].

[[File:Hiddensee P-20 missile.jpg|thumb| P-15 unloaded from missile tube aboard the [[German corvette Hiddensee|USNS Hiddensee]]]]

In 1967, the [[Israeli Navy]]'s destroyer {{INS|Eilat|1955|2}} was the first ship to be sunk by a ship-launched missile—a number of Styx missiles launched by Egyptian {{sclass|Komar|missile boat}}s off the [[Sinai Peninsula]].

In the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]] the [[Indian Navy]] conducted two raids using {{sclass2|Osa|missile boat|1}}s employing the Styx on the Pakistani naval base at [[Karachi]]. These raids resulted in the destruction or crippling of approximately two thirds of the [[Pakistani Navy]]. Major losses included two [[destroyer]]s, a [[fleet oiler]], an [[ammunition ship]], approximately a dozen [[merchant ship]]s, and numerous smaller craft. Major shore-based facilities, including fuel storage tanks and naval installations were also destroyed. The Osas returned to base without loss.

The [[Battle of Latakia]] in 1973 (during the [[Yom Kippur War|Yom Kippur/]]Ramadan War) was the scene of the world's first combat between missile boats. In this battle, the Israeli Navy destroyed [[Syria]]n warships without suffering any damage, using [[electronic countermeasures]] and ruses for defense. After defeating the [[Syrian Navy]] the Israeli missile boats also sank a number of Egyptian warships, again without suffering any damage in return, thus achieving total naval supremacy for the rest of the war.

Anti-ship missiles were used in the 1982 [[Falklands War]]. The British warship {{HMS|Sheffield|D80|6}}, a [[Type 42 destroyer]], was struck by a single air-launched [[Exocet]] and later sank as a result of the damage. The container ship {{ship||Atlantic Conveyor}} was hit by two Exocets and burnt out and subsequently sank while under tow. {{HMS|Glamorgan|D19|6}} was damaged when she was struck by an MM38, a ship-launched version of the Exocet, fired from a launcher taken from the [[Argentine Navy]] destroyer [[USS Hank|ARA ''Comodoro Seguí'']] and mounted on a trailer by Navy technicians,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fuerzasnavales.com/itb.html |title=An interview with CL (R) Ing.

[[File:USS Stark.jpg|thumb|left|''Stark'' listing following two hits by [[Exocet]] missiles.]]
In 1987, a US Navy [[guided-missile frigate]], {{USS|Stark|FFG-31|6}}, was hit by an Exocet anti-ship missile fired by an Iraqi [[Mirage F-1]] fighter plane. ''Stark'' was damaged, but she was able to steam to a friendly port for temporary repairs.

In October 1987, ''Sungari'', an American-owned [[Tanker (ship)|tanker]] steaming under the Liberian flag, and {{MV|Sea Isle City||2}}, a Kuwaiti tanker steaming under the American flag, were hit by Iranian HY-2 missiles.

In 1988 AShMs were fired by both American and Iranian forces in [[Operation Praying Mantis]] in the [[Persian Gulf]]. During this naval battle, several Iranian warships were hit by American AShMs (and by the US Navy's [[Standard missile]]s—surface-to-air missiles which were doing double-duty in the anti-ship role). The US Navy hit the Iranian Navy frigate [[Iranian frigate Sahand (1969)|Sahand]] with three [[AGM-84 Harpoon|Harpoon]] missiles, four AGM-123 [[AGM-123 Skipper II|Skipper]] rocket-propelled bombs, a [[AGM-62 Walleye|Walleye]] TV-guided bomb, and several {{convert|1,000|lb|abbr=on|0}} "[[Mark 83 bomb|iron bombs]]". Despite the large number of munitions and successful hits, ''Sahand'' did not sink until fire reached her [[Magazine (artillery)#Naval magazines|ammunition magazine]], causing it to detonate, sinking the vessel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.navybook.com/nohigherhonor/pic-prayingmantis.shtml|title=Photos of Sahand on fire|author=Bradley Peniston|publisher=Navybook.com|access-date=13 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614190554/http://www.navybook.com/nohigherhonor/pic-prayingmantis.shtml|archive-date=14 June 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the same engagement, American warships fired three Standard missiles at an Iranian Navy [[corvette]]. This corvette had such a low profile above the water that a Harpoon missile that arrived several minutes later could not lock onto it with its targeting radars.

In 2006, Lebanese [[Hezbollah]] fighters fired an AShM at the Israeli corvette {{INS|Hanit}}, inflicting battle damage, but the warship managed to return to Israel in one piece and under its own power. A second missile in the same salvo struck and sank an Egyptian merchant ship.

==Threat posed==
{{More citations needed|section|date=February 2022}}
[[File:X-15c.gif|thumb|Attack against an aircraft carrier using a [[Kh-15|Kh-15S]]]]
[[File:Ракетный удар гвардейского ракетного крейсера «Варяг» и поражение судна-мишени класса «крейсер».ogv|thumb|Video of Russian [[P-1000 Vulkan]] missile destroying a target ship]]

Anti-ship missiles are a significant threat to surface ships, which have large [[radar]], radio, and thermal signatures that are difficult to suppress. Once acquired, a ship cannot outrun or out-turn a missile, the warhead of which can inflict significant damage. To counter the threat posed, the modern surface combatant has to either avoid being detected, destroy the missile launch platform before it fires its missiles, or decoy or destroy all of the incoming missiles.
 
Modern navies have spent much time and effort developing counters to the threat of anti-ship missiles since the Second World War. Anti-ship missiles have been the driving force behind many aspects of modern ship design, especially in navies that operate aircraft carriers.

The first layer of antimissile defense by a modern, fully equipped [[aircraft carrier]] [[task force]] is always the long-range [[air-to-air missile|missile-carrying]] fighter planes of the aircraft carrier itself. Several fighters are kept on [[combat air patrol]] (CAP) 24 hours a day, seven days a week when at sea, and many more are put aloft when the situation warrants, such as during wartime or when a threat to the task force is detected.
[[File:Mansup (13-09-2024).gif|thumb|right|Brazilian frigate [[HMS Battleaxe (F89)|''Rademaker'']] firing a [[MANSUP]] anti-ship missile in September 2024]]
These fighters patrol up to hundreds of miles away from the task force and they are equipped with airborne radar systems. When spotting an approaching aircraft on a threatening flight profile, it is the responsibility of the CAP to intercept it before any missile is launched. If this cannot be achieved in time, the missiles themselves can be targeted by the fighters's own weapons systems, usually their air-to-air missiles, but ''in extremis'', by their rapid-fire cannon.

However, some AShMs might "leak" past the task force's fighter defenses. In addition, many modern warships operate independently of carrier-based air protection and they must provide their own defenses against missiles and aircraft. Under these circumstances, the ships themselves must utilize multilayered defenses which have been built into them.

For example, some warships, such as the [[US Navy]]'s {{sclass|Ticonderoga|cruiser|0}} [[guided missile cruiser]]s, the {{sclass|Arleigh Burke|destroyer|0}} [[guided missile destroyer]]s, and the [[Royal Navy]]'s Type 45 guided missile destroyer, use a combination of radar systems, integrated computer fire-control systems, and agile [[surface-to-air missile]]s (SAM) to simultaneously track, engage, and destroy several incoming anti-ship missiles or hostile [[warplane]]s at a time.

The primary American defensive system, called the [[Aegis Combat System]], is also used by the navies of Japan, Spain, Norway, South Korea, and Australia. The Aegis system has been designed to defend against mass attacks by hostile anti-ship missiles or warplanes.

Any missiles that can elude the interception by medium-ranges SAM missiles can then be either deceived with electronic countermeasures or decoys; shot down by short-range missiles such as the Sea Sparrow or the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM); engaged by the warship's main gun armament (if present); or, as a last resort, destroyed by a [[close-in weapon system]] (CIWS), such as the American [[Phalanx CIWS]], Russian [[Kashtan CIWS]], or the Dutch [[Goalkeeper CIWS]].

===Current threats and vulnerabilities===
[[File:Khalij Fars (“Persian Gulf”) ballistic missile.jpg|thumb|Iranian [[Persian Gulf (missile)|Persian Gulf]] [[anti-ship ballistic missile]]]]
To counter these defense systems, countries such as Russia are developing or deploying missiles that slowly cruise at a very low level (about five meters above sea level) to within a short range of their target and then, at the point when radar detection becomes inevitable, initiate a supersonic, high-agility sprint (potentially with anti-aircraft missile detection and evasion) to close the terminal distance. Missiles, such as the [[SS-N-27|SS-N-27 Sizzler]], that incorporate this sort of threat modality are regarded by US Navy analysts as potentially being able to penetrate the US Navy's defensive systems.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a5LkaU0wj714&refer=home|title=Navy Lacks Plan to Defend Against 'Sizzler' Missile|publisher=Bloomberg|access-date=13 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071119102801/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a5LkaU0wj714&refer=home|archive-date=19 November 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>

Recent years have seen a growing amount of attention being paid to the possibility of [[ballistic missile]]s being re-purposed or designed for an anti-ship role. Speculation has focused on the development of such missiles for use by China's [[People's Liberation Army Navy]]. Such an [[anti-ship ballistic missile]] would approach its target extremely rapidly, making it very difficult to intercept.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.defensereview.com/chinese-anti-ship-ballistic-missile-asbm-kill-weapon-flummoxes-us-navy/|title=Chinese Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM) 'Kill Weapon' Flummoxes U.S. Navy|author=David Crane|date=6 April 2009|publisher=DefenseReview.com (DR): An online tactical technology and military defense technology magazine with particular focus on the latest and greatest tactical firearms news (tactical gun news), tactical gear news and tactical shooting news.|access-date=13 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141113185848/http://www.defensereview.com/chinese-anti-ship-ballistic-missile-asbm-kill-weapon-flummoxes-us-navy/|archive-date=13 November 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> In response to China's development of anti-ship missiles and other [[anti-access/area denial]] capabilities, the United States has developed the [[AirSea Battle]] doctrine.

Countermeasures against anti-ship missiles include 
* [[Surface-to-air missile]]s 
* [[Close-in weapon system]]s (CIWS), including the Soviet-or Russian-made [[AK-630]] or [[Kashtan CIWS|Kashtan]], Turkish [[Aselsan GOKDENIZ]], German [[Rheinmetall Oerlikon Millennium Gun|Millennium Gun]] or the [[Phalanx CIWS|Phalanx]] and [[Goalkeeper CIWS|Goalkeeper]]. These are automated gun systems mounted on the deck of a ship that use radar to track the approaching missile, and then attempt to shoot it down during its final approach to the target.
* [[Anti-aircraft gun]]s such as the [[5-54 Mark 45|Mk 45 {{convert|5|in|mm|adj=on|0}} naval gun]] or the [[AK-130]]
* [[Electronic warfare]] equipment (such as [[AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare Suite]])
* [[Decoy]] systems (such as [[chaff (radar countermeasure)|chaff]], the US Navy's [[Mark 36 SRBOC]] system), and [[flare (countermeasure)|flare]]s, or more active decoys such as the [[Nulka]]

Ships that employ some [[stealth ship|stealth technology]] can reduce the risk of detection and make themselves a harder target for the missile through the use of passive countermeasures including:
* reduction of their [[radar cross section]] (RCS) and hence radar signature.
* limiting the ship's [[infrared signature|infrared]] and [[acoustic signature]].

===History of combat interceptions===

====Gulf War====
On February 25, 1991, during the first [[Gulf War]], the Phalanx-equipped {{USS|Jarrett|FFG-33|6}} was a few miles from {{USS|Missouri|BB-63|6}} and the destroyer {{HMS|Gloucester|D96|6}}. The ships were attacked by an Iraqi [[Silkworm missile]] (often referred to as the Seersucker), at which ''Missouri'' fired its [[Mark 36 SRBOC|SRBOC]] [[chaff (radar countermeasure)|chaff]]. The Phalanx system on ''Jarrett'', operating in the automatic target-acquisition mode, fixed upon ''Missouri''{{'}}s chaff, releasing a burst of rounds. From this burst, four rounds hit ''Missouri'' which was {{convert|2|to|3|mi|km|spell=in}} from ''Jarrett'' at the time. There were no injuries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/du_ii/du_ii_tabh.htm |title=Tab-H Friendly-fire Incidents |publisher=Gulflink.osd.mil |access-date=2010-04-13| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100408060501/http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/du_ii/du_ii_tabh.htm| archive-date=8 April 2010 | url-status=live}}</ref>  A [[Sea Dart missile]] was then launched from HMS ''Gloucester'', which destroyed the Iraqi missile, achieving the first successful engagement of a missile by a missile during combat at sea.

On 30 December 2023, Danish container ship Maersk Hangzhou issued a distress call after coming under fire from four small ships commanded by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen. Attempts were also made to board Maersk Hangzhou by force, while a contracted security team defended the ship. {{USS|Gravely|DDG-107|2}} and aircraft carrier {{USS|Dwight D. Eisenhower|CVN-69|2}} responded to a distress call from the container ship. Verbal commands were radioed to the Houthi ships, while helicopters from Eisenhower were dispatched. After taking small arms fire, U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire, sinking three of the four Houthi ships. There was no damage to U.S. equipment or personnel.

On Jan. 9, at approximately 9:15&nbsp;p.m. (Sanaa time), Iranian-backed Houthis launched a complex attack of Iranian designed one-way attack UAVs (OWA UAVs), anti-ship cruise missiles, and an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen into the Southern Red Sea, towards international shipping lanes where dozens of merchant vessels were transiting. Eighteen OWA UAVs, two anti-ship cruise missiles, and one anti-ship ballistic missile were shot down by a combined effort of F/A-18s from {{USS|Dwight D. Eisenhower|CVN-69|2}}, {{USS|Gravely|DDG-107|2}}, ''USS Laboon (DDG 58)'', USS {{USS|Mason|DDG-87|2}}, and the United Kingdom’s {{HMS|Diamond}}. This is the 26th Houthi attack on commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea since Nov. 19. There were no injuries or damage reported.<ref>{{Cite news |title=US CENTCOM Statement on 26th Houthi attack on commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea |url=https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/STATEMENTS/Statements-View/Article/3639970/us-centcom-statement-on-26th-houthi-attack-on-commercial-shipping-lanes-in-the/}}{{Source-attribution}}</ref>
