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?

Just like the H model when it picked up the mission, the G model was going to
work with naval assets that had the ability to classify vessels (we usually
worked with S-3s). The BUFF does have an ability (particularly over water) to
use its radar to find ships, but no way of knowing if its a Kashin Class
destroyer or the Love Boat.
