AS.34 Kormoran

The AS.34 Kormoran, whose name means cormorant, is a German-produced anti-ship missile. It uses an inertial guidance system for the midcourse phase of flight and switches to active radar homing during the terminal attack phase. The missile carries a 165 kilogram (363 pound) delay-fused warhead that is designed to penetrate 90 millimetres of armour before detonating, and its maximum range is 23 kilometres, about 14 miles. The delay fuse means the warhead detonates only after it has penetrated the target. The article lead does not give the dates of its development or service, so none are stated here.
