Missiles Over the Fleet

[Bruno Anthony]

Ok, it’s not a real book but based on Norman Friedman’s Fighters Over the Fleet, how about a book on Naval Surface to Air Missiles their control systems and launchers. Granted Friedman’s book on destroyers covers the missiles to some extent, I think this is a neglected book topic.
I didn’t realize how big some of the launchers are. If you search for sites on Talos, you appreciate the size of the missile/launchers and the spaces inside the ships to store them.

If you don’t mind sifting through the archive, this is a great site for articles on Talos & Typhon.

There has been no comprehensive book on this subject for years. A series of books on missile systems would be a real boon

I’ll do the hard part of buying it and reading it.
Who wants the easy part?

A taste: article on Terrier development: https://www.jhuapl.edu/Content/techdigest/pdf/APL-V04-N06/APL-04-06-Kelley.pdf

The link to JHU APL is in my first post. Lots of good stuff especially on Talos.

Do you need some data about World War 2 British, American, Japanese and Italian SAM development? I wrote quite a lot of articles on that matter (but on Russian, I'm afraid)

 

[Bruno Anthony]

Very kind Dilandu but I cant read Russian.
I’m sure others here can read them. Maybe Overscan?

I don't read Russian, I use translation tools to access content in Russian. I can transliterate Cyrillic characters, and recognise some aircraft related words.

https://translate.google.com is your friend.

Dilandu, could you tell us how we can access your articles?
