This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Rockets, even unguided rockets, aren't ballistic projectiles. They're still under thrust during part of their flight, so this isn't a simple ballistic trajectory.
If this article needs a rename because the significant rocket projectiles are outside the scope of mortars, then we might do so. We might call them 'projectiles' or 'unguided projectiles' (Please, not
Unrotated Projectiles!). But 'ballistic' is just wrong.
Has it been moved again, as the list is not of projectiles, but it seems artillery? But I agree, rockets are not ballistic artillery. So this needs moving back.

Irrelevant, the article should not have been moved without discussion, and that discussion should be had before it is moved. If there was content in the article that should not have been her it should have been moved.

Slatersteven: the
current form of this article, with the title Anti-submarine guided projectile, creates confusion as to whether the article is about the rounds (rockets and mortar rounds) fired from ship-borne artillery pieces to sink submarines, or the systems (rocket launchers and mortars) that fire them. As it stands, the first sentence begins with the phrase Anti-submarine projectiles are artillery pieces, which makes no sense: the artillery pieces (a.k.a. the weapon systems) fire the projectiles.

Restore to
Anti-submarine mortar. It was correct initially and this is still the best name. Most are mortars. Some are rockets but we can still cover them under this same article. It is better to include the later ones that became unguided rockets along with the mortars than it is to invent some new name thats equally wrong for both. We shouldn't merge them with guided missiles either.
