Reply to comment by Locofinger in U.S. surveillance jet makes first mission up to northern Finland by qainin

RC-135s aren't sub hunters... They listen in on signals such as communication, radar, etc. They have no ability to detect a submarine.

P-3s and P-8s are the sub hunters.

Mech, driver, or WSO?
