In 1984, a Navy program was launched to use old designs and revitalize them. The MA-3 was used, and this was the end result. A small, fast anti-submarine aircraft capable of reacting to threats quickly. While only having one torpedo, the sonobouies on board(CommanderSword made these. I have no hope of making good ones) make sure only the one torpedo is needed. For self-defense the plane also has two Interceptor missiles. This design and it’s newer version was decommisioned in 1995 but is still in use with the Coast Guard. WARNING - NOT for inexperienced pilots.
