I guess this is an Air Force aircraft since it isn’t carrier capable. On second thought, I am not sure the Navy would like carrier security to be handled by the Air Force. I know the USN has refuelers, but are they large enough to handle their basic load of fighters and a 737? Sorry, just thinking out loud before doing the research to get the answers....

The answer is in the article, it is a Navy managed project.

I guess this is an Air Force aircraftNope. Navy land based, long distance sub killer/hunter.
This replaces the P3 Orion. That was based on a 1950's Lockeed Electra frame if memory serves me.

"I guess this is an Air Force aircraft since it isn’t carrier capable." It's a Navy bird, just like its predecessor, the P-3 Orion. The Orion, which was built on the old Lockheed Electra platform, also wasn't carrier capable, FWIW.

I used to fix and operate the P-3C Orion aircraft simulators. Great planes, I guess it was a matter of time before they got replaced. Fair winds Orion!

What a silly question. Obamassiah raises his arms and proclaims “and so it shall be.”

I guess this is an Air Force aircraft since it isn’t carrier capable. The Navy operates many of aircraft that are not carrier capable... the P8 will replace the current P3 anti sub aircraft and the P3 is not carrier capable ... it very common for Navy's to have land based long range patrol anti sub aircraft to be based on airliners
