Marine Corps Gets Long-Range Missile to Take Out Enemy Ships

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland -- The Marine Corps is dropping nearly $48 million on Raytheon's Naval Strike Missile (NSM) as it moves toward a series of experiments involving striking enemy ships and maritime targets from land.

Raytheon announced this week during the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space conference outside Washington, D.C., that it will provide the NSM to the Marine Corps under a $47.59 million Other Transaction Authority agreement, a Pentagon spending category for experimentation and prototyping.

Something tells me the Navy ain't going to be happy about the USMC stepping on their turf.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
