The Boeing 737 -- the most popular airliner in the world -- is pretty popular with the Navy. They want to turn some into "Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft." That's swabby talk for "bomber."
Pull out the seats, slap in a bomb bay and sling some missiles under the wings and it turns into a long range patrol bomber to hunt and kill submarines.
It's got to be a better idea than those tanker leases with the Air Force. (Wired.com)
