I know very little about anything "Navy." I was wondering if there were any AShMs in existance that employed the same approach to hitting a ship as the Hellfire ATGM.
For those who don't know what that means, the hellfire missile approaches target tanks in a unique manner. It goes towards the tank and then when its at a certain distance from the tank, it goes vertically up in the air and comes down on the tank from the top.
Now if an AShM did the same, would it be able to avoide those anti-missile guns and maybe even other missiles trying to hit it? Will coming down from the top sink the ship or just kill more sailors?
Sensible input will be appreciated.
