Que hermoso seria utilizar esta aeronave para hacer la versión aeronaval o mejor dicho la competencia del P8-Poseidon.

Esa es la idea que le anda rondando a los rusos por la cabeza, pero hasta ahora no hay nada concreto, por lo menos de conocimiento público, solo intenciones. Creeria que es de cajon que sera el sustituto del IL-38 y Tu-142

Los trabajos de un version ASW comenzaron en 1995 con el Tu-204, pero luego se cancelaron:

  • TU-204P is a military ASW version. In 1995 the Defense Ministry made a decision about freezing the scientific research and experimental design work on the Beriev A-40 Albatros and beginning the development of new antisubmarine aircraft on the base of the already transmitted into the series production passenger Tu-204. It was assumed that Tu-204P it will be maximally standardized with the base all-passenger layout (which it was planned to let out by a large series), which will substantially lower operating costs. It seemed that the history A-40 on this ended. In subsequent five years only a few Tu-204 were produced, and the Tu-204P project was frozen. In 2005 funding was discontinued for programs to create machines Tu-204P and A-40 "Albatros" (the latter in the development of Taganrog Aviation Scientific-Technical Complex Berieva, started back in 1983).

In a tradition normally reserved for ships, the mother of Hospital Apprentice First Class Fred Lester, who received the Medal of Honor posthumously for actions on Okinawa in 1945, prepares to break a bottle of champagne on the hull of a JRM-2 flying boat on August 27, 1948, sixty-six years ago today. The occasion was the christening of the aircraft with the name Caroline Mars, which took place in Chicago after the aircraft completed a record-setting non-stop flight between Honolulu, Hawaii (note the leis), and Chicago carrying forty-two passengers and a 14,000 lb. payload. One of six JRM Mars flying boats produced by the Glenn L. Martin Company for the Navy, Caroline Mars was the only JRM-2 version, which differed from the JRM-1s in part in its gross weight (165,000 lb.) and range (6,750 miles). Before retirement in 1956, the Caroline Mars logged 10,116.8 hours of flight time along Pacific routes stretching from California to the Philippines and points in between. Upon being retired from Navy service, Caroline Mars joined three of its sister aircraft began services as aerial tankers to fight forest fires. While serving in this capacity in 1962, Caroline Mars was at Patricia Bay, British Columbia, when Hurricane Frieda struck, damaging the venerable flying boat beyond repair and ending her flying days.
