Although was the Continental a missed approach or a go around?

Essentially these are just different phases of an aborted landing. The PIC deems the approach/landing unsafe at any point above decision altitude (missed approach) and then executes the published missed-approach procedure to safely climb out, get off of runway heading and get back to the top of the ILS approach(going around).
