Summary
| Description |
English: A U.S. Navy Grumman A-6B Intruder (BuNo. 149957) of Attack Squadron 75 (VA-75) "Sunday Punchers" on the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CVA-60) in the summer of 1971. VA-75 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) aboard the Saratoga fora a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea from 3 June to 31 October 1971. The first ten A-6Bs (BuNos 149949, 149957, and 151588 to 151595) were obtained by stripping off most of the attack systems of existing A-6As, and substituting them with specialized equipment that could detect radars from surface-to-air missiles. They were equipped with the AGM-78 Standard anti-radiation missile, visible on the left inboard pylon of the aircraft. |
