Sea Dart
In February 1991 during the Persian Gulf War the US battleship , escorted by (UK Flagship) plus (carrying Sea Dart) and (equipped with Phalanx CIWS), was engaged by an Iraqi Silkworm missile. The missile was intercepted and destroyed by a Sea Dart fired from "Gloucester" after it had missed its target, the second time an anti-air missile had successfully engaged and destroyed an enemy missile during combat at sea after a Sea Dart from HMS Exeter successfully intercepted an Exocet during the Falklands War. During the same engagement, "Jarrett"s Phalanx 20 mm CIWS was placed in autoengagement mode and targeted chaff launched by "Missouri" rather than the incoming missile.
