Artist's Description
In World War II, Allied use of hunter-killer aircraft teams played a key role in defeating German submarines. After the war, the Navy wanted to develop anti-submarine aircraft capable of both seeking and destroying enemy submarines. In 1950 Grumman won the right to produce a prototype, and production of the S-2 Tracker commenced two years later. Until its retirement in 1977, the Tracker operated primarily off carrier decks, combining low speed maneuverability with high payload capacity for ordnance and detection equipment. In 1964, Lt Bud O'Toole, stationed on the U.S.S. Intrepid in the Mediterranean, honed in on the signal of a Soviet "Whiskey" class submarine lurking in the area. The encounter illustrated the Tracker's efficacy and warned potential enemies that the U.S. Navy kept vigilant watch on the open seas.
This painting was originally commissioned to illustrate the Fleetwood® Commemorative cover with a US 29¢ Flag stamp postmarked December 4, 1991.
