The year was 1958 and Varan's assault on Haneda
Airport was in full swing. Because no weapon could
pierce his immense hide, the government was desperate
and decided to use a special type of dam explosive
to blow Varan up from the inside. The P2V-7 Neptune
would be the carrier of such a weapon. When the
craft was above Varan, the flickering explosives
were released, attracting the creature's attention.
Varan ate the glowing objects, unaware of their
true purpose. One of the devices detonated, weakening
him severely and forcing him to retreat into the
ocean. When he thought he had reached safe haven
in the sea, the second exploded. The monster's
rampage was ended.
When the year 1964 rolled along, the P2V-7 Neptune
would be used yet again as the space monster Dogora
attacked Japan. It's weakness to bee and wasp
venom was discovered and the SDF intended to use
this knowledge to their advantage. The P2V-7 Neptune
would be one of the vehicles that would carry
this payload into battle against Dogora. By releasing
an artificial venom in the form of gas, Dogora's
cells began to crystallize until the creature
was no more. The P2V-7 Neptune is, to date, one
of the few SDF weapons to boast a perfect survival
record in the face of invading monsters.
