If I were a fraud, the following links answer all of your questions. history.navy.mil centerseat.net fas.org raytheon.com But what is interesting to note in your response is which questions you failed to answer, and which questions you answered incorrectly from my post. OPORD means "Operational Order", your stab at it demonstrates some ignorance. Anyone involved in P3 ops would know that at the drop of a hat. LOI is "Letter of Instruction", and the same holds true there. These are common terms used ALL the time by P3 crews and their operational support structures. However, what is even more glaring is this statement of yours "and if you drop sonobuoys into the water you can probably make it act like a submarine as well as detect them " Absolutely and totally wrong! A sonarbuoy can NEVER act like a submarine in the water. There are devices specifically made for this purpose which P3 crews use all the time. Anyone who knows anything about a P3 (beyond web surfing) would know that. Not knowing the name of this device, combined with your childlike stab at OPORD demonstrates you're a fraud. So rich, no matter how many sites you visit and acronims you pull off the net such as the ones above. I know you're a fraud. Some people on this thread might be fooled by your web surfing, but you cannot fool me. Did you think you would just spill out garbage on the net on a routine basis under an alias, insinuating you were some kind of an expert, in the belief someone like me would never come along and throw the Bullshit flag or something rich?
