Type-88

The Type 88 surface-to-ship missile (88式地対艦誘導弾, SSM-1) is a truck-mounted subsonic sea skimming anti-ship missile developed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the late 1980s. It is a land-based version of the air-launched Type 80 (ASM-1) missile; in turn it was developed into the ship-launched Type 90 (SSM-1B) missile. The missile system is succeeded by the Type 12 surface-to-ship missile.
