Summary
editDescriptionHigh Altitude Sounding Projectile launch USS John S. McCain (DL-3) c1962.jpg |
Launch of a High Altitude Sounding Projectile (HASP) from a Loki rocket launch tube aboard the U.S. Navy destroyer leader USS John S. McCain (DL-3), circa 1962. The tube was fitted to a 127 mm/54 caliber Mark 42 gun. The Loki was originally the 76mm HEAA Rocket T220, an unguided anti-aircraft rocket based on the German Taifun rocket. Like the Taifun, Loki never saw service in its original role, but later found widespread use as a sounding rocket, the HASP. |
