Sea Killer Sea Killer is an Italian anti - ship missile . It has been built in several versions , with differing guidance systems , and suitable for launching from ships or aircraft ( in which form the weapons system is known as Marte ) . Development and design . Contraves Italiana , an Italian subsidiary of the Swiss armaments company Oerlikon Contraves began development of a short - ranged ( ) ship - based anti - ship missile system , named Nettuno in 1963 . Guidance of Nettuno was by beam riding for course control , with altitude controlled automatically by an onboard radar altimeter , allowing the missile to carry out sea - skimming attacks . Command guidance was an alternative guidance method if jamming made the beam - riding method unusable . Contraves Italiana began work on an improved missile , Vulcano in 1965 , this having the same guidance system , but with a two - stage ( booster + sustainer ) rocket motor to give a longer ( ) range . Both missiles could be fired from a five - round trainable launcher . Testing of Nettuno began in 1966 , with a trial installation being made on the Freccia class patrol boat " Saetta " of the Italian navy , with the five - round launcher replacing a Bofors 40 mm gun . Testing of Vulcano began in 1969 . In 1967 , the Italian company Sistel ( Sistemi Elttronici ) was set up as a joint venture by five Italian companies , including Contraves Italiana , and the missile division of Contraves Italina was transferred to Sistel , along with the Nettuno and Vulcano missiles in 1969 . Nettuno and Vulcano were renamed Sea Killer Mark 1 and 2 respectively for export , and these names gradually replaced the older names . Sea Killer Mark 2 was purchased by Iran to arm its Saam class of four frigates , each of which was fitted with a single 5 - round launcher . No other sales of the ship - based version were made , but development of Sea Killer Mark 2 into an all - weather anti - ship missile to equip the Italian Navy ' s helicopters began in 1967 , with the helicopter based weapon system being named Marte . Marte entered service with the Italian Navy in 1977 , with its SH - 3 Sea King s being fitted with two Sea Killer Mark 2 missiles . In 1983 , a new version , Marte 2 , was announced , with the beam - riding guidance replaced by an active radar homing seeker based on that used by the Otomat anti - ship missile . Testing of Marte 2 started in 1984 , with the missile entering service with the Italian Navy in 1987 . Operational history . Iran ' s Sea Killer Mk 2 saw combat service during the Iran - Iraq War , being used to attack merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf , with at least six ships being hit .

Elbing - class torpedo boat The Elbing " class torpedo boat s ( or Flottentorpedoboot " 1939 ) were a class of 15 small warship s that served in the German " Kriegsmarine " during World War II . Although classed as " Flottentorpedoboot " ( " fleet torpedo boat " ) by the Germans , in most respects — displacement , weaponry , usage — they were comparable to contemporary medium - size destroyer s . The most notable difference was in the armament of the " Elbing " s being fewer in number and of a slightly smaller caliber — compared to the of contemporary British destroyers such as the " L " and " M " - class es . Service was either in western France from late 1942 - August 1944 or in the Baltic Sea from March 1944 until the end of the war . The design and weapons mix resulted from experience of earlier , more specialised classes such as the Type 35 . The " Elbing " s were a radical change to an all - purpose vessel capable of torpedo attacks , anti - aircraft defence and escort duties . These ships adopted unit machinery with two separate engine rooms and two boiler rooms . Their machinery was however relatively unreliable . They were effective fighting vessels , a notable success being the sinking of the British light cruiser and the escort destroyer by torpedoes , off Brittany in October 1943 . The 4th Torpedo Boat Flotilla — " T22 " , " T23 " , " T25 " , " T25 " , and " T26 " — had been protecting an important blockade runner though despite their success it ran aground and was lost . Two vessels , " T25 " and " T26 " , were lost in a similar operation three months later . Three ships — " T22 " , " T30 " , and " T32 " — were accidentally lost on 18 August 1943 on a German minefield in the Gulf of Finland . In April 1944 the Canadian destroyer was torpedoed by " T24 " . Construction of the class took place in the Schichau shipyard in Elbing ( now Elbląg ) , hence the Allied name for the class . The first examples were commissioned in late 1942 and the last in late 1944 . The ships . The ships were unnamed , but numbered " T22 " - " T36 " .
