It is a "STOOF" (S2F or S-2G or S-2E Tracker or C-1ATrader or E-1B Tracer
or US-2B or WF-2) There are probably other designations I have missed...

Definitely an S-2, not the C-1 or E-1. You can see the bomb bay door under
the airframe.

.... and the search light, and the lack of passenger window, etc.

Always good to have matching number of launches and landings.

I remember a speech by a submariner... but what he said can be translated
into aviation terms as:

"The fundamental equation of aerodynamics is number of take-offs = number of
landings. Get it wrong and you're in trouble. Get it wrong by more than
one, and you're a genius."
