Your imagination is impressive. I suppose it’s useless to point out that none of those surface-to-air missiles were German navy? And no sub-surface to air missiles are mentioned.

You do not read carefully. I did not say that WWII German missiles were used in the TWA800 incident. I said that if the Germans had such missiles in WWII that we surly have such missiles now. I also clearly stated that the Germans did not deploy those because they were never perfected. That was in response to someone saying that a sub couldn't shoot down an airplane. I didn't even say there were submarines in the area that could have done that. I merely stated that the capability surely exists.

Not in the linked articles, for sure.

Most of the information regarding German missile development during WWII does not appear on the Internet. I found a treasure trove in the Georgia Tech Engineering Library in the rocketry section. They even have copies of Von Braun's notes from Peenemünde; however, those were in German. Those are most assuredly not on the Internet.

Most youngsters seem to think that the Internet "has it all".
