Wave-skimming, guided missile (6)

I believe the answer is:

exocet

(Other definitions for exocet that I've seen before include "Short range guided missile" , "Type of guided missile" , "French missile used by Argentina in the Falklands War" , "Tactical missile" , "French anti-ship guided missile" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
