The U.S. Air Force and Navy have developed an inexpensive alternative weapon called Quicksink.
According to the Strategy Page, Quicksink is a regular guided bomb that can destroy a ship with the power of a heavy torpedo but is more efficient and cheaper. This weapon uses a modified version of the JDAM kits, turning an inexpensive, unguided "dumb" bomb into a GPS-guided one that can be launched up to 24 kilometers away from the target.
