What I don't get...

In Response To: You got it backwards. (uberfoop)

: Sea-launched cruise missiles are fancy, but I didn't see that thing
: vertically descend and then turn into a ground-effect aircraft.

...is why would it descend vertically at all, if the final objective is to fly parallel to the surface. It would be very much so more economical to just do like the shuttles did after reentry: glide down like the thrustless plane it is.
