[edit] Abbreviation

I have never seen ASM or AShM used, but "ASCM" for "Anti-Ship Cruise Missile" is very common —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.150.132 (talk) 23:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silkworm

There is quite a bit of duplication and confusion between the P-15 Termit and Silkworm missile articles, and now the C-802 is also getting called Silkworm in the media. I don't have the time to do the necessary research to sort it out unfortunately. Riddley 18:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hsuing Feng III

Here is some information I gathered on the Hsuing Feng III anti-ship missile:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/taiwan/hf-3.htm

I'm not sure about the missile's development stage, so I haven't put it into the existing systems section yet. --KBi

Hmm. Judging by this quote from the defencenews article,

"The defense ministry next year would set aside a budget for mass production of the Hsiung Feng III missile, which is expected to make its debut during the 2006 “Han Kuang 22” exercise, the Chinese-language China Times said."

it seems that the missile is nearing completion. Whether it has entered LRIP is, as you say above, difficult to ascertain from the available sources (it might even be classified info, for that matter). BTW, Thanks for your contribution so far! :-) Please see the next thread. --Wernher 01:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Articles on/listings of upcoming missiles

Re: the previous thread (Hsuing Feng III). One way of dealing with missiles-to-be would be to wait until confirmed LRIP, as per our current 'policy' (stated in the article source comments as of this writing) before listing them; another scheme would be to change said 'policy' into listing and establishing new articles on planned missiles as soon as a reasonable amount of information seeps out, but waiting until the missile is only a year or two from production---and very visibly marking such articles as containing preliminary information. This would keep WKP at the "forefront of fresh information dissemination", which we want, don't we?. Comments, anyone? --Wernher 01:03, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neglect of Chinese designs

The following missiles should be listed.

SY series of anti-ship missiles HY series of anti ship missiles YJ-62 long range anti ship cruise missile YJ-8 series anti-ship missile C-301 anti-ship missile

[edit] Article improvements

With all due respect we need to get quite a lot done to bring this article up to shape. The history section is a nice start but much should have been brought to it with the USSR's Styx development and successors as well as the west's response. Deployment and ramifications should be a section as well. The various seeker types need to be explored in a section. Launching platforms would be a thought as a section. Propulsion would again be an area I would at least think about as a section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirronan (talk • contribs) 21:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
