Glad someone learned a lesson. The design and top heavy nature of the Tco class probably spelled it's demise, dunno if any more will be built.

Still remember the shock we all had seeing a F4-B Phantom that got hit by a 122mm rocket and burned. Nothing left but a pile of ash and two engines. Aluminum does indeed burn well.
