OK, am I thinking of the wrong thing then? I know the A-12 as the attack
version of the SR-71. Someone said that it was never more than a

full-scale
mock-up. I know the A-12, at least the 1 I'm thinking of, flew, and was
tested firing missiles. What am I missing???

You're confusting the CIA designator for the aircraft which was of the SR-71
family with the DoD designated naval attack aircraft of a much later period
which was abruptly canceled. The FA-18E/F was the stop-gap measure
employed.
