Try....one?

Sheesh.

I tell folks that the "Navy Rated" power output of the TCM-2 is 125 watts CW and 35 watts 
AM from a pair of tubes good for 400 watts output, but THAT means that after it is loaded up 
into an antenna, you can set a brick on the key, and come back a month later, after going 
through a dozen battles, and find it is still outputting 125 watts, and still be within 85 Hz of any 
80 meter frequency it was set on.

The Viking II would last one shot from 16" 50, IMHO.
