just reading a piece recently about styx ss-n-2 antiship missile usage ,came into service 1960ish
so thinking when did the us navy start installing countermeasures (chaff/infra-red decoys etc to deal with these and future missiles what would have been the first systems in operation back then?
same question for british missile defences |

The Perry-class (from 1975) were built with Mk36 SRBOC chaff and flare launchers, and I think the Knox-class (from 1965) were as well. The Knox-class also mounted an electronic countermeasures system, which (by the designation code) incorporated Electronic Surveillance Systems (ESM) and jammers. |

Similar situation for RN ships, except the decoy launcher was the multi barrelled Corvus system |
