I like the Osprey as a new ASW platform idea

I believe they were looking at the Osprey as a replacement for the S-3. The idea was that they could incorporate all the electronics of an S-3 as well as a dipping sonar since they could also hover. But it was an expensive platform and went out the window with the end of the Cold War.
