“Having been a P-3 airborne ASW operator during the 70s thru the earl 90s, all submarines were identified only as “target #x”. Just sayin’.”
Same for us. We included surface ships, also. Aircraft, not so much. The only way we would be able to target an aircraft would have been to launch a ballistic missile right underneath them. Timing is everything, dontcha’ know. :)
“Thanks for your service shipmate.”

I have always been amused by the back and forth between surface, sub, and airborne units...:)
The spice of life! (unless it is a shooting war...)
