AGM-123

usn_agm-123ASMUSA

The Skipper is an American short-to-medium range anti-ship guided missile, produced by combining a Paveway II laser-guided bomb with a solid rocket booster. This was done to provide aircrews with an alternative to Harpoon, which proved troublesome to use in heavily congested waters such as the Persian Gulf, where the risk of hitting civilians is just too high.
