Even fuse changes and resetting CB on nuclear weapons control systems was SOP. If necessary you would hold the CB in if it meant it worked. If a fuse blew, try a bigger fuse if the difference was success or mission failure.
So whilst chasing some 'slippery Akula', you would hold in a tripping CB? What utterly crass folly which could have led to a fire, loss of aircraft and crew.....
