With the evolution of quiet deep-diving nuclear-powered submarines, the US Navy considered that high priority should be afforded to the development of a new generation of hunter-killer ASW aircraft. The first prototype was flown initially on January 21, 1972, with the type entering service on February 20, 1974. In 1981, Lockheed received a $14.5 million contract covering a Viking weapons system improvement program, including the ability to carry the Harpoon ASM, the resulting aircraft to be redesignated S-3B. The aircraft has a maximum cruising speed of 426 mph and a combat range of more than 2,300 miles. This model is in precision polymer to exacting specifications. It is hand painted, and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand.
