Two other boats (James K. Polk and Kamehameha received the SOF modifications as Sam Houston and John Marshall. You may be referring to Kamehameha, which was lost a few days before the Northern Theater cease-fire. Those two sinkings were tied for the largest loss of life in a USN sub sinking.

Too bad a lot of data on the image is redacted. That could be one of mine for all I know. And yes, we did do some missile hunts back in those days.

Cannon AFB, NM, 1984: a year before the invasion. 27th TFW F-111Ds at rest. A year later, they were flying and fighting for their lives.

Yes, it is. She flew several different birds, some Euro 1 or 2, some SEA, and even a couple in a desert scheme.
