Now now, dont be a bad sport Kap! 
I know of this instance, but they were walleye glide bombs, not missiles.
Therefore they dont qualify for this poll...

| HMS Sheffield was the first warship sunk by an airborne launched Antiship missile. Fired from an Argentine Super Etendard. You people should know this one considering the Super Etendard is in FA, as is the Falklands Map. |

When have you ever not won? Your knowledge base is so high, its never really a challenge for you...
I think you didnt get the win once, or maybe even twice? 
So I kind of take it for granted you will figure the poll out once you have gotten me to nail it down to a specific definition!

A few days after I chose Vietnam, I realized it didnt make any sense. The VC didnt have much of a navy, now did they?

Well considering the entire war started over the Gulf of Tonkin incident of their patrol boats attack US Navy Destroyers, I would have to refute your statement above...
But then again, why would you be worried about their Navy since the poll was about an air launched antiship missile not a shipped launched one...

We did pound their Navy, but with iron bombs, not Antiship missiles...
