I just want to confirm some things here. You say TWA 800 was struck by a KKV equipped Standard missile, with a hybrid RF/IR seeker. You also believe that missile was launched from a submarine (the 30 knot track) and was originally targeted and guided on a target towed by the P-3. Is that all accurate?

That is my best guess as of today. I am convinced that a non exploding missile broke apart the B747 at the initiating event but the KKV is only based on what was available that had the mass and velocity to do the job. A supersonic Russian target drone was in the news around that same time and something else besides a SM-2 hybrid may have had the capability to do the job. 'Jane's Defence Weekly' told of a pending summer test and I don't know of another test that that could have been. This is why I wonder if a Brit sub did the firing. This could be a reasonable excuse to cover-up what happened. I have difficulty believing that Bob Dole would not know what happened and if the reason for a cover-up existed, he would have to sign onto it to keep from using the crash to his political advantage in the '96 presidential election. I am convinced that our government lied but not cognizant as to why it lied; Bill Clinton or a friendly fire accident. If Bill Clinton, all's fair in love and war. If friendly fire, I should retreat and lick my wounds.
