Assuming its patrol duties with the US Navy shortly after the Second World War, "Neptune's" saw their first combat use during the Korean Conflict. There they were used in ground attack, mine laying, day and night bombing and rocket attack and as armored combat transports as well. They became the "Cold War" patrol aircraft along both American coasts, were active in the Cuban missile crisis, and participated in the American space program as well. During the Viet Nam war P2's were involved with electronic warfare and, as night and all-weather interdiction aircraft. The OP-2E version flown by VO-67 dropped sensors along the Ho Chi Minh trail and other supply routes to detect enemy troop and vehicle movement, and even the Army flew them as an attack variant, the AP2E.
