History of the S2F Tracker

During the 1960s, the Grumman S2F "Tracker" was considered one of the more prominent tools of Western naval power. It served as the basis for the "Trader" transport and "Tracer" early-warning aircraft. This compact carrier-based aircraft provided a capable platform for ocean patrol and sub-hunting, and The US Navy finalized its ideas on a carrier-based submarine hunter or killer aircraft in the late 1940s.

The Grumman S2F Tracker was designed to meet this role and first flew in 1952. The S2F was re- designated as the S-2 in 1962 and not phased out until replaced by the Lockheed S-3 Viking in the mid- 1970s. Variants of the Tracker were also used as transports (the C-1 Trader) and Airborne Early Warning aircraft (the E-1 Tracer). The original designation of S2F led to this aircraft's other nickname which is S- Two-F or "Stoof".

The S2F Tracker is powered by two 1,525 hp Wright engines and manned by a crew of four (two pilots, two radar operators), the S-2 grossed out at 26,867 lbs, had a maximum speed of 253 mph and a range of 1150 statute miles. The last front-line "Trackers" were retired from active duty in 1976. A raining version, the TS-2A, remained in service until 1979.

The S-2F Tracker was a mid- 50s vintage carrier-based anti- submarine search and attack aircraft. It is the first dedicated carrier-borne ASW aircraft to combine hunter/killer roles in one airframe.
