- There's an ad by McDonnell Douglas on the back of the March 1992
- UNSI Proceedings for a missile called SLAM (Standoff Land Attack
- Missile). It says that it "is produced on the same production line
- and supported by the existing Harpoon logistics system." It also
- looks just like a Harpoon in the picture.

- I think this would qualify as a land-attack version of the Harpoon,
- but I don't know whether it's in actual use or not.
