There are also the truck-mounted Harpoon ASMs that the Danish Navy operated from the mid-80s until 2004 or so. I wonder what happened to those! The Taiwanese requested a couple batteries of them last year, which the US deferred.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
