👉 The Cornwall Missiles were a series of mobile, air-launched anti-ship cruise missiles developed by the United Kingdom, primarily for the Royal Navy. These missiles were designed to provide a flexible and cost-effective means of countering naval threats, particularly from fast attack craft and submarines. The Cornwall series utilized a combination of air-to-air and air-to-surface capabilities, with the missiles capable of engaging targets at various ranges. They featured a unique design that included a vertical launch tube integrated into the missile's nose, allowing them to be launched from aircraft or surface vessels. The missiles were equipped with advanced guidance systems, enabling them to navigate and strike targets with precision. Despite their innovative design and potential, the Cornwall Missiles were never fully deployed in operational service due to budget constraints and evolving naval strategies.
