Fortunately for them, word is the US Navy’s new P-8 can’t do ASW.

That's news to me, and I work with the program and the active duty squadrons.

And I'm all in favor of letting the Chinese continue to believe that.

Now you know that NOTHING has been able to do ASW since the P2-V!

If you can't open that square back hatch, how are you gonna' chuck out the wooden block with the long burning smoke?

P-8 does not have that!

P-8 doesn't have the cool observer seat in the nose bubble to ride in during Zuni runs on the aforementioned long burning smoke block!

I'll bet the P-8 doesn't even have the upper wing skin running THROUGH the fuselage, so when you're heading aft (and don't know what you're doing), you end up sliding face first in a heap into the comm station.

The P-8 doesn't even have a MAD man!
