I worked on the P3C in 1969 for Honeywell. We built the Mag Tape System. Now there was a monster by todays standards.
One unit stood 6 ft by about 2 ft by 3 foot deep and it took either 2 or 4 units per plane.
That amount of memory can now be stored in 6 standard computer hard drives.
Just think of the working room freed up since then.
Same Air Frame and I'm sure other such improvements would make those craft even more efficient then they were then.
