Like the B-52, the venerable Standard Missile frame proudly defending since the 1950’s. Proof that a sound design and winner can be modified over and over, according to its need.

On the old DLGs, we had to manually clip on the wings and fins on Terrier missiles before sending them out to the launchers. Hope they found a better way to do that. A wing or fin detachment at launch makes the bird arc right back at you.
