kinda of a 1 in a million shot and a strange way of shooting them down. Nearby where I live is the Brunswick Naval Station. I know a few of the fellas who service the aircraft there. the planes fly missions out into the ocean searching for subs. they have these huge 4 prop planes with a giant "penis" sticking out the back. Penis was the airman's nomenclature...not mine. Its looks more like a spike thrusting out the back but he says that is all of the sensistive radar equipment they use to spot and track subs.

not sure why some countries would use helis to spot subs....
