Kept in secrecy during development, nicknamed the Banana Jet (Blackburn Advanced Naval Aircraft) as England began to create an anti-shipping weapon capable of striking fear against the rapidly growing Soviet Army in the following years after the end of World War II to protect their merchant fleets that were beginning to be targeted by the Soviet Union's commerce raids. With this real threat on the horizon, the Blackburn Buccaneer was built to defend and attack. Introduced into service in 1962, the Blackburn Buccaneer became the largest aircraft to operate off of aircraft carriers, the first generation, S.1, saw trouble with taking off, not generating enough power, it was quickly decided to update with Rolls-Royce engines and a turbofan, which also lowered its fuel consumption and all squadrons were converted by 1966 and redesignated S.2. Sporting a rotating bomb bay door rather than the classic pop outs, added to the overall stealth of the plane. Able to fly at low altitudes made it the perfect defence against Soviet Cruisers.
