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?


I'm assuming the B-52 would get some AWACS or Hawkeye input for
off-board targeting. Unless there's some classified stuff we dunno
about, I don't believe the B-52 has a targeting radar -- like you said.
I think there is some infrared search capability, but I have no idea if
that targeting info can be given to the missles.
