Navy and Coast Guard weigh return of blimps
As Congress debates missiles and bombers, the Navy and Coast Guard study reviving blimps for service. A 164 foot Sky ship 500 will undergo two months of tests at Warminster Pa before joint operations, with tests in Patuxent River Md and Elizabeth City N C. Preliminary studies suggest blimps larger than this one would be needed for submarine surveillance and law enforcement, search and rescue.
