	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''White Shark''' missile was developed as the middleweight of the [[SLDF]] Navy's three anti-fighter missile systems. Like the [[Barracuda]] and [[Killer Whale]] missiles, the White Shark was effective at destroying small craft, unlike the [[Naval Laser|Naval Lasers]], [[Naval Autocannon|Autocannon]], and [[Naval PPC|PPC's]]. After the fall of the [[Star League]] and the loss of [[WarShips]] and other [[:Category:Capital_Weapons|capital weapons]], production halted.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 292, Missile went extinct [[2850]]</ref> The [[Federated Commonwealth]] restarted production during the [[Clan Invasion]] alongside the production of new WarShips.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 292</ref>	+	The '''White Shark''' missile was developed as the middleweight of the [[SLDF]] Navy's three anti-fighter missile systems.

Production restarted during the [[Clan Invasion]] alongside the production of new WarShips.
−	Once production of WarShips resumed, a glaring flaw became apparent in the White Shark and its sister missiles: The primitive guidance packages the  post–[[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars]] era [[Successor States]] could manufacture couldn't always hit the target. The easiest way to solve the problem was to remove the guidance package and install communications links that would allow friendly operators to guide the missile like a remote-controlled AeroSpace Fighter. The [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] did this in [[3056]].<ref>''TechManual'', p. 292</ref> Though the '''White Shark-T''' lost the ability to attack small craft<ref>''AeroTech 2'', p. 41, "Teleoperated Missiles"</ref>, the ability to manually guide the missile and change targets more than made up for it.	+	Once production of WarShips resumed, a glaring flaw became apparent in the White Shark and its sister missiles: The primitive guidance packages the  post [[Succession Wars]] era [[Successor States]] could manufacture couldn't always hit the target.

−	The '''Santa Ana''' is a 50 kiloton nuclear warhead mounted on a White Shark missile, allowing it to be launched from a White Shark or [[AR-10]] launcher.<ref name="H:RW195">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 196, "Nuclear Weapons"</ref>  In addition to being fired by [[WarShip]]s at other space targets or to perform planetary bombardments, special purpose-built missile silos can launch these missiles at orbital or surface targets.  When operating within an atmosphere the missile has a maximum range of 5,000 km, which it can travel in approximately eleven and a half minutes.<ref name="JHS:3070p134">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 134</ref>
