Navy Grounds Radar Planes After Midsea Accident
U S Navy grounds all E 2A Hawkeye radar planes following a July 21 midsea accident near Norfolk. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot said several aircraft are awaiting inspection and major overhauls, with a small percentage found deficient. The grounding hindered air surveillance and led to a carrier shift to older E 1B Tracers for trials. Hawkeyes extend from ships to warn task forces of enemy aircraft before contact with fleets.
