Where did you hear the thing about third world countries mounting Grads on boats? If you just noticed it in the game, it's probably just there to represent naval missiles because the game dosen't have any code to really represent naval SSMs.

No, I didn't get that from the game; from various US publications, it appears that some potential opponent countries (at least North Korea and Iran) have tried to replace the outdated and unserviceable missile launchers on some of their patrol crafts or larger ships with 122mm rocket racks salvaged from truckborne launchers. That would f.e. replace (C)SS-N-1/SS-N-2-type missile tubes or Western equipments for which no spare parts were available.

It would sound logical that other countries with more Soviet oldies than spare parts and a minimal technical basis would attempt that kind of DIY retrofit.
As a side note, the PLAN seems to be experimenting about a cruder, similar technique.

For more reference see the "North Korea Country Handbook" from the USMCIA, or f.e. I got this article from the CSIS on Iranian forces.

I'll post about further sources whenever I find some, if that's of any interest to anyone here!
