In 1944, The U.S. Navy was in need of an anti-ship weapon capable of hitting outside the range of heavy anti-air defenses. Engineers at Caltech designed a large caliber air launched rocket powerful enough to damage heavy shipping. It was the largest rocket in the US arsenal at the end of WWII.
Due to its large size it was given the nickname Tiny Tim.
