PATUXENT RIVER, Md. - The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) today announced that the P-8A multi-mission maritime aircraft has been assigned its popular name. It will now be known as P-8A Poseidon.
That was announced on Tuesday. However the US Navy guys have already dubbed this Boeing 737 replacement for the P-3 as the PerDiem after the daily rates payed on deployments.
"We attack tomorrow under cover of daylight! It's the last thing they'll be expecting ... a daylight charge across the minefield .."

Is this a VERY lame attempt at comedy? I'm IN the P-3 Community and have NEVER heard this...
British humour often doesn't translate well with our cousins. I might add that the OP has very recently returned from an exchange tour at Jacksonville with the USN so I think it would be fair to say that he knows what he's talking about.
