    What use does the Coast Guard have for a plane designed to kill tanks and provide CAS? Seems less than ideal for patrolling coastal waters.

      It’s not real

      Here’s the artist’s idea for what it could be used for - it’s got big Mike Sparks energy, but in a charming and not-racist way? Stupid idea.

          A 300 lb WDU-24/B penetrating blast-fragmentation warhead is really the swiss army knife of marine rescue operations.

          (it also still has the GAU-8 in the snoot too, so idk. Maybe I’ve just missed the unaddressed need for maritime close air support?)

        Yeah, decided I should google it since it seemed silly. Found the source of the pic and the explanation. Pic makes more sense now.
