Two Loons were launched by Carbonero and USS Cusk (SSG-348), equipped with smoke generators, to fly as aerial targets over ships of the U.S. First Task Fleet, centered around the aircraft carriers USS Boxer (CV-21) and USS Valley Forge (CV-45). However, the jet-propelled targets could not be shot down by either anti-aircraft artillery or fighter planes during its flight of 130 km. |
