History
Sea Dart was the Royal Navy project that was meant to replace their first generation long-range surface-to-air missile, Seaslug. Sea Dart entered service in 1973 on HMS Bristol. The missile can be used as anti-ship missile, however in surface mode the warhead does not arm. The missile is guided by Type 909 illumination radars.
Sea Dart was used by the Royal Navy and exported to Argentina. Argentina used them on board their T42 destroyers.
A few different launchers have been build and proposed, having different physical dimensions and magazine layouts.
The missile was decommissioned in 2012 by the RN. The Argentine missiles were retired in 1987 due to a lack of spares.
