... that the Typhon surface-to-air missile (pictured) was developed as part of a system to replace the United States Navy's "3T"s?
Source: "The 3T family of surface-to-air missiles (TARTAR, TERRIER, and TALOS)..." [1] "...the 3T systems were designed to meet the threat of this decade, and that utility is expected to decrease against the air threat of the 1970s...the TYPHON missile system was conceived to meet that future threat."

Article is new enough (recent 5x expansion), long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is mildly interesting, and verified with cited source. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Image is PD. Good to go.-Zanhe (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
