Vigilante

An advanced twin-engine, supersonic all-weather attack aircraft designed to carry a free-fall nuclear bomb and optimized for low-level attacks at high speed. It is one of the largest aircraft flown from a carrier.

It proved unsuccessful as a nuclear bomber, perhaps because the bomb ejection mechanism was unsatisfactory.

See the Introduction, Abbreviations and Pronunciation for further details.
