It's a "bombing run", not a "bombing hang around after".
The Hound is the Minmatar Stealth Bomber. It is bonused for explosive torpedoes and bombs. Stealth Bombers are mostly quite similar, but the Hound's unique selling point is its speed and agility, which makes it a good bomber since it is more likely to make its escape after bombing.
