Slightly off topic, but is the 737 design also being considered for an MPA (maritime patrol, P-3 type mission)?

It's an ER version of the 737-800 and it has raked wing tips rather than winglets. It would be interesting if Boeing were to offer a version of it as a BBJ or airliner. It could probably serve even thinner transatlantic routes than the 757-200.

It's not trivial to modify a commercial aircraft for weapons employment.

Real program. Notice the armament. It's a 737 with an attitude!
