Not to my knowledge , they did create a lashup that allowed
some ship launched Exocets to be fired from a land based trailer
however.


They used a WWII-vintage German Siemens generator to power the truck-mounted
Exocets, plus some pretty primitive make-shift control station, coupled with
an artillery radar, for aligning the nav and attack system. That's all: no
high-tech, only improvisation.
