最初,类似火箭的炮弹是由中国传到欧洲的。而最早的舰用火箭弹却是由一名英国军官制造的。弹重14.5公斤,弹径91.6毫米,长924毫米,射程约2.5公里。该弹是今天使用的火箭炮弹的前身。达种火箭弹的发射装置大都装在舵式快艇上。英国当时使用的军用单桅帆船就装有21轨火箭发射架,这种火箭发射装置除了破坏性的作用外,在精神上也起了一定的威吓作用。此后,火箭弹的直径增多,有:76毫米、92毫米和148毫米。英国舰队使用这些弹的时间较长,而其他国家很快就放弃了在舰队中使用这种武器。原因在于当时制造水平低,最后导致瞎火,甚至在自己的舰船和快艇上发生火箭 Initially, rocket-shaped shells were transmitted from China to Europe. The earliest ship rockets were manufactured by a British officer. Bouncing 14.5 kg, diameter 91.6 mm, length 924 mm, a range of about 2.5 km. The projectile is the predecessor of rocket shells used today. Launch rocket launchers are mostly mounted on the rudder speedboat. The military dhow used by the United Kingdom was equipped with a 21-track rocket launcher, which, in addition to its destructive effect, was also mentally threatening. Since then, rockets have increased in diameter: 76 mm, 92 mm and 148 mm. The British fleet used these missiles for a longer period of time, while other countries soon abandoned their use of such weapons in the fleet. The reason was that the manufacturing level was low at the time, leading to blind fire, and even rockets on their own ships and speedboats
