    Information on the 1930s B bomb?

    Hi people, Recently I was reading David K Brown's work on British naval design ( Nelson to Vanguard: Warship Design and Development 1923-45), and here this description about what he referred to as "B bomb" caught my attention. Unfortunately I could not find much information about it...

    Anglo-US Crusader/Hammerhead Sea Mine

    Briefly mentioned here, I remember stumbling across this system on another, now defunct, website covering US sea mines. If I remember, the project dated from the 1970s, and included two variants of rising mine, one based upon a small torpedo, the other rocket-propelled.

    HEAT (shaped charge) naval ordnance in WWII

    The French Edgar Brandt company had a design in 1940 for an eight inch shell, intended for naval guns, with HEAT functionality. My understanding is that it was projected to have, under optimal conditions, penetration of ~ 500mm / 20 inches. Brandt also was interested in the use of HEAT...

    How useless were the Luftwaffe's Alpha Jets?

    One of the things that always puzzled me in the 70s was how the West German Air Force replaced its NATO light fighter bomber competition winning Fiat G91 with the Dornier Dassault Breguet Alpha Jet. The Germans had the money to buy a raft of different planes for this role ranging from Jaguars...

    British long range shipborne anti ship and surface missiles 1962-70

    In the 60s the RN looked at using missiles possibly derived from Blue Water or similar as a replacement for carrier aircraft. Nothing came of it and Exocet was bought in 1970. Was any serious work ever done?

    Iranian ASBM?

    http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=5642659&c=AIR&s=MID I pray this turns out to be a hoax. As while China is likely to not use their ASBM, Iran surely will if they possess this type of missile.

    A picture from an 80's military advertisement lead to these other two images. Interesting similiarities between the 25 year old ANS test vehicle and Taiwan's recent supersonic cruise missile. ;) (The ad is aerospatiale.)
