All Missile-Armed Naval Combatants

This group collects the Missiles And Guided Munitions subcategory's guided-missile-armed naval vessels: guided-missile destroyers, cruisers, frigates, a nuclear-powered guided-missile battlecruiser and a nuclear-powered ballistic-missile submarine (SSBN), catalogued in this subcategory because each entity's own weapon-class attestation describes it as a class of missile-armed vessel rather than a single missile. Its 8 members are a genuine boundary case: this atlas's own separate Naval Vessels And Torpedoes subcategory is the more natural home for a named ship class, and moving these members there is named as a finding for a future relabel lane rather than acted on in this grouping pass, which does not reorganize entities across subcategories.
