Just wondering, how were B-52G bombers supposed to find targets in
anti-ship strikes? Were they to use their own sensors or depend on
offboard targeting?

Also, remember that the Harpoon can be programmed to fly a course and search
for targets. You don't need to have a lock on one before you launch--a
simple bearing X, range Y, motion Z from another source (satellite, P-3,
E-2, etc.) should suffice.
