Just what the world needs - cruise missiles that can be hidden inside of,
and launched from, standard shipping containers:

Right now, Hugo Chavez is coming in his pants.

My thoughts exactly. The video screams "Rogue nation! Protect yourself from
the evil United States with our new terror weapon, a cruise missile in a
shipping container!".

I like the "Red Country/Blue Country" outlines. :-D
But why stop with just one launcher on a container ship?
Make the whole top level of containers these things, and have a
container ship that is more heavily armed than the Pyotr Velikiy Russian
flagship.
Alternately, unload them at the dock of a hostile nation with timers
installed, so that they actually launch from _inside_ the enemy nation.
Whole James Bond movie plot right there.
