UGM-89 Perseus STAM (Submarine Tactical Missile)

[Triton]

Found information about STAM (Submarine Tactical Missile) or UGM-89 Perseus:

In March 1969, the U.S. Navy issued a requirement for the STAM (Submarine Tactical Missile), a new submarine-launched dual role (anti-sub/anti-ship) attack missile. It was to have a range between 9 km (5 nm) and 55 km (30 nm), and carry a new high-performance homing torpedo. STAM was to be a large missile with a length of about 7.6 m (300 in) and a diameter of 76 cm (30 in). This made it too large for torpedo tubes, and therefore a new attack submarine (SSN) type was proposed which would carry 20 STAMs in vertical launch tubes. This new SSN would have been much larger, and therefore much more expensive, than existing SSN classes. The STAM project and the new submarine class were eventually cancelled in 1973. As a replacement, the submarine-launched UGM-84 version of the Harpoon missile was developed and fielded on existing SSNs.

Found this Cruise Missile development history on DTIC, @Tzoli might be interested to read it on page 151.

Are there more details about the missile itself? Guided weapons is my interest)

Asides from cruising the the DTIC archives I don’t have anything else, sorry mate.

Well damn. I honestly thought we'd never know how this baby looked.

I thought I've asked if drawings existed of this missile but seems like it was in another thread?

Hello everybody! I'm the one who was initially interested in images or drawings of the UGM-89 Perseus, that's why I asked Tzoli if he could ask here on my behalf, as I didn't have a forum account yet. Let me express my thanks for the effort and help to everyone involved. I believe these pictures will be of great help. What I wonder now is what torpedo should be realistically put inside it.

Oh wow! Finally we at least knew how this guy looked!
