The first combat use of the missile was in 1986 in the [[Gulf of Sidra]]. During Operation Prairie Fire, [[A-6 Intruder]]s sank two [[Libya]]n vessels (a missile boat and a corvette) using Harpoon missiles and Rockeye cluster bombs.<ref>''El Dorado Canyon: Reagan's Undeclared War with Libya'', by Joseph T.
