The Lockheed/Canadair proposal can't be in the CL-4* range because there is no missile in these. Perhaps CL-68? or (probably more likely) CL-87?

Hi All!
Why not CL-4??, my friend ?
look: CL-421---SR-181, Strategic Earth System Study, Lockheed/Hughes ferry spacecraft, proposal of 1958.
CL-498---SLOMAR, proposal of 1959/60.
Maybe Lockheed GOR-177/ WS-138A proposal have been range between CL-439-445,447,449,450,453-455,460-469,
471,474.
knows the exact answer only our friends Skybolt and Orionblamblam.

Why not CL-4??, my friend ?

Sorry nugo, I thought you meant CL- in the Canadair system (CL-40 to CL-49 are not missiles).

Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River, beyond the Do Long Bridge, pick up the Colonel's trail find the designation of the Aerojet General rocket motor(s) used on the AGM-48 Skybolt. So far I have failed miserably and it is now starting to annoy me.

Good luck.

Thanks
