The Navy’s long-serving C-2A Greyhound conducted its final carrier landing and takeoff on June 25 on the flight deck of USS Nimitz in the Atlantic Ocean. The Greyhound is set to be fully retired later this year after nearly six decades of service, with its carrier onboard delivery duties now being handled by the CMV-22B Osprey. Here’s a look at the Greyhound on deployments and training exercises in recent years.
