mea culpa...You know, when I sent that last post there was a little
nagging feeling that I should've the Market Time histories. May those
souls rest in peace.

However, this simply buttresses my case. Where was this P-3-and also
the only other P-3 combat casualty-lost? In a Littoral conflict. Where
is the MMA expected to spend much of its service life...?
