The C-2 Greyhound, a workhorse of the US Navy for transporting personnel and cargo to aircraft carriers for over five decades, is set to be replaced by a new aircraft.
The new transport aircraft, currently in development, is designed to meet the evolving needs of the Navy’s carrier onboard delivery (COD) missions. With improved capabilities and technology, the replacement aircraft aims to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness for transporting essential supplies, equipment, and personnel to and from aircraft carriers at sea. This upcoming change has generated significant interest and anticipation within the military community and aviation enthusiasts alike. The new aircraft promises to revolutionize the COD mission by providing increased speed, range, and reliability. As the C-2 Greyhound era comes to a close, the arrival of its successor marks a new chapter in naval aviation history, ushering in a new era of carrier onboard delivery capabilities.
