4 . 5 - Inch Beach Barrage Rocket The 4 . 5 - Inch Beach Barrage Rocket , also known as " Old Faithful " , was a rocket developed and used by the United States Navy during World War II . Originally developed from the " Mousetrap " anti - submarine rocket , it saw widespread use during the war , being replaced by more powerful rockets toward the end of the conflict . Development . Developed during 1942 by the California Institute of Technology ( Caltech ) , under the direction of Charles Christian Lauritsen , in response to a requirement by the United States Navy for a rocket capable of being launched from landing craft to provide fire support during amphibious landings , the 4 . 5 - Inch BBR was an improved version of the Mousetrap anti - submarine rocket system , using the Mousetrap ' s Mk 3 rocket motor mated to a general purpose aerial bomb . An impact fuse was mounted in the nose of the rocket , with an annular fin assembly providing stability . A modified , larger version of the Beach Barrage Rocket , using the Mk 9 rocket motor , was also produced , being introduced into service in late 1944 . Operational history . First test fired on June 24 , 1942 , further tests in August proved sufficiently successful for the Navy Bureau of Ordnance to place an initial order for 3 , 000 Beach Barrage Rockets ; the weapon was introduced into combat service that November , during the invasion of northern Africa . Fired from 12 - round launchers and capable of being fitted with either the standard high explosive or a white phosphorus warhead , approximately 1 , 600 , 000 examples of the BBR were built ; although the rocket proved inaccurate in service , it was widely used , and was highly regarded by members of the amphibious forces . The effect on the target of the Beach Barrage Rocket was described as being equivalent to that of a barrage from heavy mortars . The 4 . 5 - Inch BBR also saw use as an improvised ship - to - ship weapon , as well as being launched from ground - based launchers ; it is credited with the first ship to be sunk by another purely by rocket attack , occurring near Ormoc in December 1944 .

She then was based at Toulon until the French surrender in June . From January 1941 , she was part of the Vichy " High Seas Force " at Toulon . Two of the three cruisers from the 3rd Cruisers Division - she and " Marseillaise " - never went to high sea , due to the lack of fuel , but only in November 1940 , to cover the return to Toulon of the battleship " Provence " , severely damaged by British gunfire in July 1940 , during Operation Catapult . However " La Galissonnière " was effectively disarmed and inactive . When the Germans occupied Vichy France , she was scuttled on 27 November 1942 to prevent her capture by the Germans and Italians . The cruiser shared the drydock with " Dunkerque " , and her captain moved her forward and opened the sea valves so that she would sink and block the gates . Italian " FR . 12 " .

Italy got many French ships in November 1942 , not only the " La Galissonnière " : two light cruisers , 11 destroyers , 11 escort ships , 9 submarines and 10 minesweepers . A refit began but this had not finished at time of the Italian armistice ( it was rebuilt nearly 60 % of the ship ) . The intention to incorporate the former French ship into the Regia Marina was , however , undermined by Italy ' s chronic oil fuel shortages . While in German hands , she was damaged by US bombers on 24 November 1943 , after the Italian armistice . " La Galissonière " eventually sank on 18 August 1944 in an air raid by B - 25 s of the 321st Bombardment Group , USAAF . The hulk was raised and finally scrapped in 1952 .
