The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a four-seat, twin-engine
turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy
primarily for anti-submarine warfare. In the late 1990s, the
S-3's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial
refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and
surface surveillance capabilities to the carrier battle
group.
As a carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, multi-mission
aircraft with long range, it carried automated weapon
systems, and was capable of extended missions with in-flight
refueling. Because of the Viking's engines' characteristic
sound, it was nicknamed the "Hoover" after the vacuum
cleaner brand. The S-3 was retired from front-line US Navy
fleet service aboard aircraft carriers in January 2009.
