Default B-2s At Sea

According to:

http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htn.../20071128.aspx

"The B-2 can carry Harpoon anti-ship missiles."

Since when?

AFAIK, the B-2 cannot at this time carry AGM-84 Harpoon missiles.

That claim was made early on for maritime strike, but it seems likely
that this was simply listed as a "potential" store, politically
motivated to emphasize additional roles for the B-2.

Carrying them isn't all that difficult - strap them into the bomb bay
with duct-tape.

LAUNCHING them, OTOH, might be a problem ;-)

Just have a guy sit in the bomb bay and peel the tape back.

You must be new to the group... We've been referencing or quoting Dr.
Strangelove for more than 10 years on this group. You might also want
to bone up on your Python.

I guess everybody has some mountain to climb.
It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet...

You shouldn't have mentioned Python, now he will be expecting the
Spanish Inquisition.
