RP-3 warheads for anti-shipping strikes

What warheads did British aircraft use when attacking ships with rockets?

The discussion distinguishes high-explosive loads from 25-pound solid armour-piercing RP-3 warheads; exact use depended on service, theatre, and target, and the Fleet Air Arm details remain uncertain.

The answer initially expects high-explosive warheads against small combatants and merchant ships. Viewers then identify 25-pound solid armour-piercing RP-3 warheads used by Coastal Command, prompting a distinction between that evidence and uncertain Fleet Air Arm practice. British Pacific and Eastern Fleet aircraft may often have carried high-explosive rockets for land targets and then used the available load against ships. The exchange preserves uncertainty across service, theatre, target, and warhead instead of treating every RP-3 anti-shipping attack as the same.
