Penguin: a Norwegian missile bought by the US Navy as a payback for the Norwegians buying American F-16's, during the 80's. Decent missile, if your aim is to blow up medium sized or small combatants. (Frigates, corvettes, etc.)
The picture on the top row of your link, far right, was filmed at the Patuxent River, MD, Test Range. An old friend of mine was on that shoot during the Operational Test and Eval stage of fielding the Penguin in the US Navy.
