Exocet AM 39

thingiverse

The Exocet is a French-built anti-ship missile that can be launched from various platforms, including surface vessels, submarines, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. In 1982, during the Falklands War, Argentine Navy Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard warplanes carrying AM39 Air Launched versions of the Exocet inflicted damage that sank the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Sheffield on May 4, 1982. Two Exocets then struck the 15,000-ton merchant ship Atlantic Conveyor on May 25. Two MM38 ship-to-ship Exocet missiles were extracted from the old destroyer ARA Seguí, a retired US Navy Allen M. Sumner-class vessel, and transferred to an improvised launcher for land use, a technically complex task that also required reprogramming. One of these was fired at, and caused damage to, the destroyer HMS Glamorgan on June 12.
