	C-2 Greyhound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The C-2A Greyhound is a twin-engine cargo aircraft, designed to provide critical logistics support to aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
		The C-2 Greyhound is a derivative of the E-2 Hawkeye and replaced the piston-engined C-1 Trader in the Carrier Onboard Delivery role.
		During the period November 1985 to February 1987, VR-24, operating with seven Reprocured C-2As, demonstrated exceptional operational readiness while delivering two million pounds (900 t) of cargo, two million pounds (900 t) of mail and 14,000 passengers in support of the European and Mediterranean theatres.

		The earliest torpedo bombers could only carry a small torpedo, often a shorter, lighter version of the standard 17.7-inch diameter weapon, or an even smaller 14-inch version.
		Delivery of the TBD Devastator began in 1937, and its 900-horsepower Pratt and Whitney R-1830 engine allowed it to carry a 1,000-pound bomb or 2,000-pound torpedo.
		The TBM-3R was modified to carry seven passengers by removing the gun turret, allowing it to transport personnel and equipment to and from carriers in what became known as "carrier-onboard-delivery" or COD.

		The CODs are part of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron Three Zero aboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), currently operating in the Gulf of Alaska.
		Carriers and their battle group are equipped with fully operational medical facilities but, should an incident occur that leaves a Sailor unable to be fully functional on the ship, the COD brings them to the nearest beach detachment so they can get the medical attention they need from a shore hospital.
		On a carrier that is commonly referred to as a self-sustained floating city, CODs could be considered an essential part of what keeps this community mission ready during Northern Edge ‘04.

		Based on these tests, it was determined that the C-130 could carry 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) of cargo and personnel to a carrier at a range of 2,500 miles (4,020 km).
		However, the risks of operating such a large aircraft in the hectic day-to-day carrier environment were considered too great, and the idea of using the C-130 as a COD aicraft was abandoned.
		The C-130 has never been operated from a carrier since, and the much smaller C-2A Greyhound was later selected to fulfill the COD role.

		Based on the success of the E-2 Hawkeye AEW aircraft, Grumman proposed a carrier onboard delivery (COD) derivative to transport vital supplies or personnel between ships at sea and distant shore bases.
		Such an aircraft allows the carrier battle forces to remain at peak operability even when too far from shore for supplies to be ferried by helicopter.
		Once the US Navy accepted the design, Grumman began production of 19 aircraft differing from the E-2 in the deletion of the rotating radome, having a larger diameter fuselage, addition of rear cargo doors, strengthening of the fuselage deck for heavy loads, and elimination of the tailplane dihedral made necessary by the radome installation.
