Grumman S-2T Tracker

Overview

The Grumman S-2 Tracker is a carrier-capable anti-submarine warfare aircraft; the S-2T designation covers turboprop conversions used by several navies for maritime patrol and training after piston Trackers retired. Twin engines, a weapons bay, and magnetic anomaly detection equipment defined the ASW mission. Converted Trackers extended service life with better performance and reliability. Some remain in firefighting or utility roles after military use.
