The US Navy is completing a planned transition from the C-2 Greyhound to the CMV-22 Osprey for carrier onboard delivery, marking a generational shift in naval logistics aircraft.
This transition signifies the modernization of naval aviation logistics, impacting efficiency, range, and operational flexibility for carrier strike groups.
The C-2 Greyhound is retired from active carrier service, replaced by the tiltrotor CMV-22 Osprey, which offers vertical take-off and landing capabilities and greater versatility.

The CMV-22 Osprey will now exclusively handle carrier onboard delivery, improving logistical agility for US Navy carrier strike groups.
This shift could influence future naval aircraft procurement decisions, favoring more versatile, multi-mission platforms over single-purpose designs.
Increased operational flexibility might enable changes in carrier deployment strategies or the types of support personnel and equipment carried.
