B-52/Harpoon

Pop quiz: When (date) was the first Harpoon launched off a B-52? ;-)

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.
