The RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is derived from the air launched AIM-7 Sparrow. The Sea Sparrow missiles are a direct equivalent, differing often only in tail span and having folding wings.
The Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile uses the RIM-7P guidance section, but has slat fins, a larger rocket motor and uses thrust vectoring.
