In a cruise missile, the warhead is integrated into the vehicle and the vehicle is always sacrificed in the mission.

These advances developed into guided missiles and guided bombs, and later into the modern cruise missile.

In 2011, it was estimated that a single Tomahawk cruise missile costs US $ 830, 000 (£ 500, 000 ).

In the Soviet Union, Sergey Korolev headed the GIRD-06 cruise missile project from 1932 – 1939, which used a rocket-powered boost-glide design.

Nazi Germany, in 1943, also developed the Mistel program which can be seen as a rudimentary air-launched cruise missile, where a piloted fighter-type aircraft was mounted atop an unpiloted bomber-sized aircraft that was packed with explosives to be released while approaching the target.

Immediately after the war the United States Air Force had 21 different guided missile projects including would-be cruise missiles.

Between 1957 and 1961 the United States followed an ambitious and well-funded program to develop a nuclear-powered cruise missile, Project Pluto.

Large submarines ( for example, Echo and Oscar classes ) were developed to carry these weapons and shadow US battle groups at sea, and large bombers ( for example, Backfire, Bear, and Blackjack models ) were equipped with the weapons in their air-launched cruise missile ( ALCM ) configuration.

A hypersonic cruise missile would travel at least 5 times the speed of sound.

The US Air Force deploys an air launched cruise missile, the AGM-86.

ALCM nuclear tipped cruise missile to be carried by the B-52 heavy bomber.

The Royal Air Force uses the Storm Shadow cruise missile on its Tornado GR4 aircraft.

India and Russia have jointly developed the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos.

Germany and Spain operate the Taurus missile while Pakistan has developed its own cruise missile somewhat similar to Tomahawk cruise missile, named the Babur missile.

stereo SWAO 1643 ), a saga of life on a cruise ship that is not apt to be included among Mr. Coward's more memorable works.

One popular cruise is from Caletilla Beach to Roqueta Island, which has places to snorkel, have lunch, a small zoo and a lighthouse.

In modern times it is an important route for Alaska Marine Highway ferries as well as cruise ships.

Ship traffic in the area is seasonally busy with cruise ships.

A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets, by dropping bombs on them, firing torpedoes at them, or – in recent years – by launching cruise missiles at them.

It was during this cruise with Hornigold that the earliest known report of Teach was made, in which he is recorded as a pirate in his own right, in command of a large crew.

Mindelo on São Vicente is the main port for cruise liners and the terminus for the ferry service to Santo Antão.

The most common mission for cruise missiles is to attack relatively high-value targets such as ships, command bunkers, bridges and dams.

When a device is designed to perform without the need of human inputs for correction it is called automatic control ( such as cruise control for regulating a car's speed ).

For example, in an automobile with cruise control the vehicle's speed is continuously monitored and fed back to the system, which adjusts the motor's torque accordingly.

Consider a car's cruise control, which is a device designed to maintain vehicle speed at a constant desired or reference speed provided by the driver.

The controller is the cruise control, the plant is the car, and the system is the car and the cruise control.

A primitive way to implement cruise control is simply to lock the throttle position when the driver engages cruise control.

However, if the cruise control is engaged on a stretch of flat road, then the car will travel slower going uphill and faster when going downhill.

These machines contributed to the Henschel Werke Hs 293 and Hs 294 guided missiles developed by the German military between 1941 and 1945, which were the precursors to the modern cruise missile.

RAM converted the Regulus cruise missiles into an unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ): Regulus missiles would be launched from cruisers or submarines, and once in flight, guided to their targets by carrier-based pilots with remote control equipment.

The Harbourfront is also the docking point for the M / S Kenora, a small cruise ship which offers a guided tour of the lake.

After entering the Historic Site, visitors can either survey the site for themselves, or participate in guided tours of the Site, a harbour cruise, tours to the Isle of the Dead and Point Puer and evening Historic Ghost Tours.

Most modern vessels have largely done away with conventional artillery, instead using cruise and guided missiles for most offensive and defensive purposes, respectively.

The US Navy hull classification symbols for cruise missile submarines are SSG and SSGN-the SS denotes submarine, the G denotes guided missile, and the N denotes nuclear-powered.

* March 22 – The U. S. and the United Kingdom begin their shock-and-awe campaign with a massive air strike on military targets in Baghdad using cruise missiles fired from U. S. Navy warships, Royal Navy submarines and B-52 bombers ; and laser guided missiles fired by Stealth Bombers.

The Stilo was originally offered in some markets with a radar guided cruise control option ; it included sensors in the front bumper and rear of the car to adjust the speed of the car according to other vehicles ' speed.

* 498th Tactical Missile Group ( February 1961 – October 1969 ) ( TM-76B / CGM-13B ) Equipped with the TM-76B, renumbered in 1963 to CGM-13B Mace guided cruise missile, four hard site launch sites.

Their three robots were only featured briefly in the fourth and final episode and so they were not well understood, though some things were made clear: Burrstone was a heavy support robot who mounted over five hundred missiles in various launchers, ranging from normal cruise missiles and guided weapons to hugely powerful atomic bombs capable of destroying several miles of landscape, and also seemed to be incredibly well-armored with huge plates covering its entire body.

* YJ-85 ( C-805 ): Land-attack cruise missile variant of YJ-8 family, believed to be guided by GPS and TERCOM.

After boarding the tour boat, guests learn that they are taking a guided scenic cruise to visit the actual locations of the shark attacks that occurred during that fateful summer of 1974, which were made famous in a big Hollywood movie that was made not long afterwards.
