Lockheed P2V / P-2 Neptune Maritime Patrol Family
The Lockheed P2V Neptune was a long-range maritime-patrol and anti-submarine aircraft family developed for the United States Navy and adopted by air arms worldwide. Its large twin-engine airframe, weapons and sensor bays, long endurance, and later jet-assist adaptations made it a defining postwar patrol design before the P-3 Orion era.
