8 × RGM-84 Boeing Harpoon SSM Block 1G in 2 quad canister launchers The Harpoon was first introduced in 1977 after the sinking of the Israeli destroyer Eilat in 1967 by a Soviet-built Styx anti-ship missile from an Egyptian missile boat.
So they're obviously sticking with the tried and tested.
The Harpoon has also been adapted for carriage on the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
And it's one size fits all?
