That is not a Harpoon. The fin structure and placement is incorrect for it. Not to mention, the OP stated it was an ASROC.
Sample of Harpoon Anti-Ship missile.

Here is a pic of my 1st FC while stationed at NAS Miramar, circa 1994-95.
NAS Miramar Main Gate, next to F-14A Tomcat dressed in VF-111 "Sundowners" colors. Ca 1994-95.
Behind the Tomcat's exhaust nozzle is an F-16N dressed in VF-126 "Bandits" colors.
Boy, do I miss that car!

I'm not a veteran, but lets just say I usually spend Veterans Day in a giant field in San Bruno.
This seems like a pretty good place to thank you guys for your service, sacrifice and honor. War is the scariest thing I can think of.

Semper Fi, lt1_rx7!
Nice looking AK you have there. Was that slightly used and only dropped once? Did you make it a bring-back war trophy?
Unless I am mistaken, the whole war prize thing ended between the Korean War and the passage of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968. I also suspect the Hughes Amendment (to the GCA) prevents any new ownership of NFA firearms post 1 Jul 1986, to include war trophies.

Request completed. Thank you for service and working on one of my fav aircraft!
Was that a special snow tire up front? LOL
It's good to see some USAF representation too!
