Guided missile boat

Japanese: ミサイル艇 - みさいるてい(英語表記)guided missile boat
Guided missile boat
A relatively small warship equipped with anti-ship missiles. In 1967, the Israeli destroyer Eilath was sunk by three anti-ship missiles fired from a missile boat of the Arab League (now Egypt) (Eilat Incident). This incident, in which a warship was sunk by an anti-ship missile, made the navies of various countries realize the effectiveness of anti-ship missiles and missile boats, and missile boats began to be planned and built in various countries. Missile boats were created in the 1960s, but the early ones were merely equipped with missiles instead of the torpedoes of torpedo boats.

対艦ミサイルを搭載する比較的小型の軍艦をいう。1967年にイスラエル駆逐艦〈エイラートEilath〉はアラブ連合(現,エジプト)のミサイル艇から発射された3発の対艦ミサイルにより撃沈された(エイラート号事件)。対艦ミサイルにより軍艦が撃沈されたこの事件は,各国海軍に対艦ミサイルとミサイル艇の有効性を認識させ,これ以降ミサイル艇が各国で計画・建造されるようになった。ミサイル艇は1960年代に誕生したが,初期のものは,魚雷艇の魚雷に代えてミサイルを搭載したという程度のものであった。
