I believe that the Army purchased something around 100 launchers and 800 missiles. And btw; i think we've had the javelins for quite some time ( atleast according to my friend in the homeguard) ;)

So that's around $14,335,800 for the CLU's and $68,811,200 for the missiles

I do wonder how effective this and Gil Spike would be against ships? Some of the extended range AT missiles could be feasible small antiship missiles, especially against smaller vessels. Though how much damage would top attack warheads have?

On RHIBs and bigger boats such as MTBs and similar, devestating. Against corvettes and frigates, it definitly hurts, but not catastrophicly. I have seen videos of Norwegian ships firing hellfires at target ships. They do some damage, but it will take a bunch of em` to sink medium-large ships.
