What does "single airframe" in the lead mean? Dicklyon ( talk) 05:31, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
"The Tracker was intended as a replacement for the Grumman AF Guardian, which was the first purpose-built aircraft system for ASW, using two airframes for two versions, one with the detection gear, and the other with the weapon systems."I'm not sure how to condense that down into something suitable for the lead, or if we should just remove the term "single airframe" as too confusing in the lead. I guess we shouldn't assume that readers will actually read the whole article before asking questions! ;) BilCat ( talk) 07:38, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Indeed but the qualifier is 'first in the US Navy', mentioning the British types would be off topic. The 'first' appears to be backed up by a citation from Francillon, I don't have that source to check. The Guardian was also a first according to this article, may be true but two firsts before we get far down the page stands out. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 12:41, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
