The
Lockheed P-2 was built for the Navy. Developed
during World War II, it's
primary mission was anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and it
secondary mission was aerial mining. It entered service in 1947 and
was produced for almost thirty years. They were sold to
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal,
and the UK. The US Navy even outfitted some with skis
for use in Antarctic and Arctic; these used a unique system in
which the cargo was carried in a specially designed module that
was fitted into the bomb bay of the aircraft. When inserted, the
module became the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage.
In the Vietnam War they were used for
coastal patrols and as gunships. The Argentine navy used two
Neptunes to search for British Task Force during the Falklands
Warl one guided in the Etendard attack that sank HMS
Sheffield. All Neptunes were retired during
the 1980s except for Japan's more modern force of locally built
P-2Js.
