elmshoot- I was wondering the other day how the 2.75" Air to ground

rocket
came to be
named Zuni. BRBR

2.75s weren't 'Zuni'-Zuni was a 4 inch rocket. I never heard a name for

the
2.75FFAR-


I've heard them called "Mickey Mouse" rockets. Not sure if that ever caught
on in naval aviation though...

What did a salvo launch look like? Was it a tight pattern, or were there a
few strays?
