Japan has not used them from carriers and the next Frog carrier (to match the E-2D timeframe) won't be able to. Plans for a half dozen Nip carriers would bring Chinese pressure on North Korea faster than you can say "Kim Impossible". -HJC |

E-2D and Maritime Security
In sci.military.naval hcobb twisted the electrons to say:
Japan has not used them from carriers and the next Frog carrier (to match the E-2D timeframe) won't be able to. Seeing as how the French haven't decided if they're going to get a second carrier yet[1] how can you be so sure that said carrier when/if it turns up will not be compatiable with the E-2?

Some testing was done with a modified Wellington but it never entered service. The first AEW aircraft to enter squadron service was the AEW Avenger. The RN used the AEW Skyraider equipped with the APS-20 radar which was in turn superseded by the Fairey Gannet. The responsibility for AEW remained with the RN until the retirement of the Fleet carriers and Gannet in the early 1970's The first operational RAF AEW unit was 8 Squadron equipped with Shackletons equipped with the now rather elderly APS-20 radars in 1972.
