#1 I wonder if any of the TLAMs to be converted started out life as a as TASM? Likely not, since they'd be circa Pappy era and likely unstable.

#2 Time marches on; I remember when the Harpoon was top shelf stuff; my aircrews were wetting themselves if they even got a chance to do a captive carry mission with one, much less shoot one.....

Sez he who spends election season trying to chew the bars off'n his cage... :p

Likely they'll be 'seconds': old but not obsolete, 'drops' that are sound but don't make the 'A' team, etc.

I suspect many of them will have been TLAM-Ns in another life.
