The initial engagement was with British Waste_of_Space after the first firings of the 'Sea Skimming' Skua were found to be a little on the 'conservative' side, clearing the freeboard of Saddam's 'ships' by some clear margin.
A large amount of Flash signal traffic later and the Skua * was born!
Amazing how quick procurement can be in times of adversity.
Also the Mk3 was a bugger to keep cool in the Gulf. Lots of hastily cut slots, vents, grooves, intakes and BDR tape saved the day!
