Finally, it conducted a four-nation maneuver with Argentine, Uruguayan and Brazilian ships. The operation's longest air patrol, 11 hr. and 15 min., was flown by a Brazilian Neptune, which circled so aggressively over its sub-contact area that a reporter aboard wrote, "It looked like the dipping wing tank was going to hit the wave crests...
