The big problem is that the US Navy retired the Lockheed S-3 Viking fleet too early. Fortunately, most of those planes now sitting in the "boneyard" are still intact, and they could be put back into service on short notice.

And replacing the P-3 Orion with a modified 737 was a mistake. The P-3 could shut down two engines, feather the props, and loiter in the area of a submarine for hours, flying low and slow.
