What are anti-ship missiles?

Anti-ship missiles are powerful weapons that help big ships attack other big ships from far away.

Imagine you're playing a game where you and your friend each have toy cars. Your friend hides behind a big wall, but you can still hit their car with a small ball, that’s like how anti-ship missiles work. They fly through the air and zoom toward another ship, trying to crash into it or blow it up.

Anti-ship missiles are like smart toy balls. They have engines to help them fly, and special tools to find their target. Sometimes, they can follow a ship even if it moves away, just like how you might chase your friend around the playground.

Once they get close enough, they either hit the ship directly or explode in a big boom, making it hard for the other ship to keep going.

These missiles are used by big ships like submarines and warships when they want to attack enemies from far away, kind of like throwing a really powerful ball that can knock your friend’s car off the road!
