True 'nuff, but they did go 1 for 1 vs. the Iraqi Navy. With the refueling store. (As I Understand It, they were loaded 1 Buddy Pod + 1 1,000# bomb for their refueling tracks. The War Hoover got called to deal with an Iraqi boat making a break for it. Apparently during the run, the Ports & Starbords got mixed up, and they dropped from the wrong pylon. (Oops!) They made up for it though, by bullseyeing the boat, and holing it from top deck to keel.) The way I recall it, the other pylon had a Rockeye rather than an iron bomb. Certianly clusters have been found effective against small surface cfraft, adn a whole lot easier to hit with than unitary bombs. The S-3s went a lot more than 1-for-1 in Gulf War 1. IIRC, that same S-3 had about a half-dozen bombing mission stencils next to the buddy store. Thomas Schoene |
