Sir, we got the responses back for the RFP for a new strategic bomber.
Great captain, what did you get?
We got three proposals back. Two of them are direct copies of the B-52, but made by a different company.
Ok, and the third one.
Well sir, it's from Boeing, so it's just the B-52 but the bomb bay doors may fall off during flight.-

Cunning. Extra munitions built into the airframe and deployable with minimal manual intervention. We'll take 50.

Fun Fact a cold war project the "big stick" (Nuclear powered, Nuclear ICBM) had a "problem" that it's exhaust was radioactive. Then the military said, no, that's bonus damage, it will spread radiation even over enemy cities it doesn't target, and we can fly it over more places to take advantage of that.

The plane itself becomes a weapon in a pinch. Now that's what I call efficiency.

The physics of a strategic atmospheric bomber hasn't changed. The B52 is close to optimal in shape for the task. A lot can change, however, both within that shell, and construction materials it's made of.

Which is also why we’re up to the B-52J which is the 10th iteration and has upgrades in 2020.

B-52 are crabs confirmed

We'll just roll out the modern planes like the A-10 and the F-16...Over 40 what? To shreds you say?

I have that game. The mission from the book was rather hard for teenage me, though I had read the book and knew what to do

Introducing the B-52X.
Ah, the Admiral pulled the old Galaxy-class out of mothballs to serve alongside the newest B52-class starship.
The Cosmofortress.
That's the NCC-52.
