Note: Seaslug Mk1 was also fitted with an impact fuze, known as the 'Pranger Fuze'. This was omitted from the Mk2 missile, probably because the kinetic energy of the impact would make any warhead explosion irrelevant.
I have amended the maximum range and altitude figures for the Mk1 missile based on the data from the firing reports.
