Attack on Stark showed weak missiles say experts
Washington reports an Australian Air Force weapons expert says the Stark attack exposes the inadequacy of anti-ship missiles used by the West. Exocet and Harpoon reportedly lack warheads to sink modern guided missile frigates, even as the Stark endured a two-missile strike that caused a major fire, 37 deaths, and 21 injuries in the Persian Gulf on May 17.
