Andreas: I stand corrected, yes it was a typo and and iwas very very tired. If you look at the number of posts you can see that I am far from being a newbie, hehehehe, there are only a few who have more then me.

Anyway getting back to it, yes they did make a whole stock pile of them and I don’t think that it was as experimental as you might think.

Dan: I’d be suprised if they don’t mate, remember our early stocks of Harpoons here? We had to either blow them up or dump them into the sea because they had gone sour.

The only thing I’ve heard in relation to the 100 number is that they INTENDED to field up to 100 of them and have squadron of F-15s on either coast outfitted and trained to fire them. I’ve never heard they actually BUILT that many.
