NATO called the concept TASMO (Tactical Air Support of Maritime
Operations) and it involved land-based tactical aircraft tasked with
both offensive and defensive mission in support of ships.


Is that what the Germans were up to when they strapped Kormoran onto

Also when the RAF hung Martel, then Sea Eagle, on its Buccaneers; then
used Tornado GR.1B for the role when the Buccs retired..
