XOCET, as in the Exocet missile, now built by MBDA of France. Exocet missile is launchable from both air and maritime platforms and is a sea-skimming supersonic anti-ship missile.
Exocet's accounted for all ships (Sheffield, Glamorgan, Ardent...) damaged and sunk during the Falkland Island war (POM's v Argies, 1982) and have been used against the US by Iraq (USS Stark, 1987).
The beauty of calling the Busa an Exocet is that like the Busa, it is extremely fast and most hits by an Exocet have been duds!
