Navy's C-2 Greyhound Retires

via RealClearDefense

The C-2 Greyhound, the Navy's only carrier delivery passenger plane, made its final carrier landing at the end of June. This marks the end of its mission. The plane has been in service for a long time, earning it the nickname 'Dinosaur'.

Why it matters

The retirement of the C-2 Greyhound is significant as it marks the end of an era for the Navy's carrier delivery operations. The Navy will need to find alternative methods for transporting passengers and cargo to its carriers.
