The initial purpose of the Harpoon was to provide a high-subsonic, long-range, sea-skimming, over-the-horizon missile capable of striking enemy warships with lethal accuracy. The transition to Harpoon Block II marked a significant shift in the missile's operational capabilities as it was adapted to confer upon the Harpoon an anti-ship capability in littoral or coastal waters. | Interesting Engineering
