C-801 is a subsonic Chinese anti-ship missile (AShM) developed in the 1980s receiving NATO reporting name CSS-N-4 Sardine. Designated as YJ-8 (YJ is the abbreviation of Yingji or 鹰击 in Chinese meaning Eagle Strike) this originally surface platform based missile would become the foundation based on which several other missiles developed such as YJ-1 the submarine-launched version and YJ-81 the air-launched version.
