Keywords: black background 330-PSA-400-60 (USN 710830): The first of a new and more powerful version of the U.S. Navy’s Bullup Air-to-Surface Missile has been produced by the Martin Company, Orlando, Florida. Called the Bullpup “B,” the new weapon will be an entirely new member of the Bullpup family. It will not replace the 671-pound, 11-foot-long smaller brother now in production and in service. The Bullpup “B” is in advanced test stages. Most details about its configuration are still classified. The already proven Bullpup “A” has been operational with the fleet since 1959. Carrying a conventional warhead, it is effective against tactical surface targets such as pillboxes, tanks, airfield installations and bridges. Photograph released November 5, 1960.
