Same as what happened in the mid-1970s, when we migrated to the CV deck
(from the split CVA / CVS dedicated decks). Among other taskings was
that the A-6s would become secondary SSSC platforms, and the primary
delivery platform for the later-cancelled CAPTOR (encapsulated torpedo)
weapon.

Regarding CAPTOR, "later canceled" must mean "served for more than 20
years and was retired". CAPTOR was fielded in 1979 and phased out
around 2002.
