I read about a idea put forward years ago about what were termed kinetic weapons, the suggestion was that large tool steel darts delivered at high speed by the SR71 could sink a carrier.
Might be a roll for the Concoure once they retire her.
Never understood why they retired the Blackbird but kept the U2 operational.
