SS-N-15

The SS-N-15 cruise missile is a Russian missile, designated the Starfish. It is designed to be fired from a 533 mm torpedo tube, where it is boosted by a choice of mechanisms depending on model before clearing the water, firing a solid rocket propellant and delivering its payload up to 45 km away. The payload ranges from a simple depthcharger, to a 20 kt of TNT nuclear warhead.

It is analogous in function to the now retired Subroc missile carried by US Navy submarines.
