The Lockheed S-3 Viking became the anti-submarine warfare follow-on to the radial-engined S-2 Tracker in February 1974. The twin-engine turbofan-powered, four duty-position jet was a very reliable workhorse for the Navy, initially carrying automated anti-submarine weapons and in-flight refueling equipment. In the 1980s and 90s, the ES-3A Shadow electronic intelligence gathering version and the US-3A carrier-based cargo transport version were added. In the late 1990s most of the 186 S-3As built were upgraded to the
S-3B and were introduced with a surface warfare and aerial refueling mission for the carrier battle group. The last S-3 was retired by NASA in mid-2021.
