But the Weasel is just the thing for taking out a radar site, or an anti-aircraft gun, if armed like the one below, with Maverick missiles as well as the HARM (High Speed Anti Radiation Missile.

About 150 knots +/- approach speed? I can’t imagine landing one on a pre-Forrestal class aircraft carrier. Big swinging clankers.
