- At least one type of cluster bomb uses a ground bounce to slow the bomblets
- down and to make them explode at a certain altitude, that type would be
- eminently unusable against ships. The anti-armour types on the other hand
- should have quite an effect.

- Some accounts of the skirmishes in the Gulf of Sidra claim that the USN
- used Rockeyes against the Libyan FFL's.
