it may not be the FAS or Global Security but on the Orion Warrior page the Mk-60 is listed as one of the weapons of the P-3 and I give Smuok as much credit as I give to FAS on this.
Actually FAS and Global security do not exclude the use of the Mk-60 but simple state that the Orion can carry a wide array of weapons including such and such..
The MK-60 is the most advanced ASW mine and it is designed to be deleivered by Air or Subamrine. I see no reason why the P-3C cannot carry them.
I would vouch for having it on DW unless our Bubblehead friends feel unconfident to have to face real type weapons and human manned platforms delivering them :arrgh!:

I never read the article. Just went straight to the spec sheet at the bottom of the page listing weapons and listed weapons didn't mention the MK-60. Sorry if I caused offence.

However according to this http://www.exwar.org/Htm/ConceptDocs...appendix_e.htm

CAPTOR was removed from the inventory in FY02 that report is from here: http://www.navy.mil/palib/cno/n75/Htm/4000.htm

By all means include it just my quick look showed the P-3 didn't carry it...
wow.
