Pete, that form of attack is EASILY countered with a conventional Aircraft Carrier and AIRBORNE early Warning like the E-2C Hawkeye. Then you can extend coverage out to almost 1000 miles and those Buccaneers would not have gotten close. During the Falklands (as you probably know) you guys had SAS/SBS dudes on the beach transmitting Indications and Warnings.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
