The USAF is considering building a new weapon to go after heavily-
defended ships. See:

Shouldn't the Navy be taking the lead on a project like this?


They already did, its called Harpoon. An anti-ship missile that can be
launched from aircraft, surface ships, or submarines.

Been there, done that.

Harpoon has been around for awhile now, though newer versions are an
improvement
over the original. Can Harpoon still hack it against modern air
defenses?
