*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://www.kongsberg.com/globalassets/corporate/pictures/media/2011_juni_nsm_launch_2_utsnitt.jpg?w=1240&quality=60] It will sink many ships. *Key point:* The Naval Strike Missile is very powerful and advanced. The modern age of the missile at sea was arguably kicked off in October 1967, when the Israeli destroyer *Eilat*, sailing fourteen miles off the coast of Port Said, was ambushed by a pair of Osa-class guided missile boats. The missile boats launched four missiles, three of which hit the ex–Royal Navy destroyer, sinking her an... more »
