An anti-ship missile (AShM) is designed for use against large [[boats]] and [[ships]] such as [[destroyer]]s and [[aircraft carrier]]s. Most anti-ship missiles are of the [[sea skimming]] variety, and many use a combination of [[inertial navigation system|inertial guidance]] and [[active radar homing]]. A large number of other anti-ship missiles use [[infrared homing]] to follow the heat that is emitted by a ship; it is also possible for anti-ship missiles to be guided by radio command all the way. Many anti-ship missiles can be launched from a variety of weapons systems including [[Surface combatant|surface warship]]s, [[submarine]]s, [[fighter plane|fighter aircraft]], [[maritime patrol aircraft]], [[Military helicopter|helicopters]], [[shore battery|shore batteries]], land vehicles and by [[infantry]].<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/antiship-missile|title=Anti ship missile|encyclopedia=[[Britannica]]|access-date=1 December 2023}}</ref>

[[Anti-submarine missile]] is a [[standoff missile|standoff]] [[anti-submarine weapon]] variant of anti-ship missiles used to deliver an [[explosive material|explosive]] warhead aimed directly at a [[submarine]], a [[depth charge]], or a [[homing torpedo]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Submarine Warfare, Today and Tomorrow|first1=John Evelyn|last1=Moore|first2=Richard|last2=Compton-Hall|year=1987|isbn=978-0-9175-6121-4|publisher=Adler & Adler|page=23}}</ref>
