BEagle, you will remember also that it was a function of the GIB in the F4 to use a nav rule to reset CBs.
In a combat aircraft resetting CBs or changing fuses was the norm if it restored the operational function of the aircraft for the mission.
You may also remember the actions on a Vulcan in the case of a suspected double TRU failure. On a mission you would put in a new fuse and keep on putting them in until one worked. In peacetime you did not try and isolate the fault and would land as soon as possible. It was one reason why AEOs used to fly with a pair of dead fuses.
At the appropriate time, after landing, the serviceable fuse would be exchanged for a duff one. This usually applied the right side of the $-£ divide
