Rockets on Stukas?

Warship 46, April 1988, has an article on the sinking of 3 Soviet destroyers by Ju87 of StG 77. "Soviet Destroyers vs the Luftwaffe, 6 October 1943" Author is Pierre Hervieux.
p. 27 reads: "..we concentrated on Besposhadny. She ceased fire and came to a stop. Unhappily we did not carry rockets, so we had to return to the airfield for more bombs..."
Did Ju87 ever carry rockets in combat, and were there any air-surface rockets in the German inventory in 1943 that might have been used/useful against warships?
Richard
P.S.: Unfortunately no source is given apart from the preamble to the quote "The German Gruppe Leader's report on the first three strikes translates as follows:"

Looks like incorrect translation.

Best regards,
Andrey
