S-3B Viking Desk Mat

$21.99 USD

The S-3 Viking was a twin-engine, carrier-based aircraft designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW). It took its first flight on January 21, 1972, and entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1974. A total of 187 S-3 Vikings were built between 1974 and 1978. Originally focused on detecting and engaging submarines using sonobuoys, magnetic anomaly detectors, and torpedoes, the Viking was later adapted for sea surveillance, electronic warfare, and aerial refuelling. After the Cold War, its ASW role diminished, and it was often used for surface surveillance, strike coordination, and tanker support. S-3s saw combat use during Operation Desert Storm and later in Operation Iraqi Freedom, performing reconnaissance and refuelling duties. It was affectionately nicknamed the “Hoover” due to its vacuum-cleaner-like engine sound. The Viking was gradually phased out and officially retired from front-line Navy service in 2009, though a few remained in test and support roles afterward.
