I've hoped to find a list showing the GWS (Guided Weapon System) series of British missile designations but I did not found one on this forum, so I ask you if you can provide me a list on these weapons.
From Wiki and some other sites I've collected these:
GWS.1 - Sea Slug Mark I
GWS.2 - Sea Slug Mark II
GWS.20 - Sea Cat (Manually aimed)
GWS.21 - Sea Cat (CRBFD Radar aimed)
GWS.22 - Sea Cat (MRS.3 aimed)
GWS.24 - Sea Cat (Alenia Orion Radar aimed)
GWS.25 - Sea Wolf
GWS.26 - Sea Wolf VL (Vertical Launch)
GWS.27 - Sea Wolf FaF (Fire and Forget)
GWS.30 - Sea Dart Mark I
GWS.31 - Sea Dart Mark II
GWS.40 - Ikara
GWS.45 Sea Viper
GWS.50 - MM38 Exocet
GWS.60 - UGM-84B Harpoon
As you can see there are gaps between the Sle Slug and Sea Cat and Se Wolf and Sea Dart as well as a missing GWS.23 (another seacat variant maybe?) and the modern SAMs of the Sea Viper and Sea Ceptor.
