description=A derivative of the S-2 Tracker appeared in 1955 as the Grumman C-1 Trader that was designed as a Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft to provide passenger, mail and cargo services to deployed carriers. The C-1A could be configured to carry up to nine passengers or up to 4,800 lbs of high priority cargo whose dimensions were compatible with those of the cargo area and/or the fuselage access doors (this included small jet engines).
The Traders normally operated from overseas shore-based VR (transport) squadrons and, in many situations, as detachments from other foreign military fields, e.g., Philippines, Turkey, Greece, Norway, etc., to support naval requirements. Some aircraft carriers had a C-1A permanently assigned to provide proficiency time for eligible ship's pilots.  The USS Lexington was one of these carriers.  The C-1A was the last piston driven carrier aircraft in the US Navy and served until September 30, 1988 .
When operating as a COD, the crew consisted of two pilots and an aircrewman who performed in the capacity of a plane captain, mechanic and loadmaster. Powered by two 1525 hp Wright engines, the C-1A grossed out at 27,900 lbs, had a top speed of 253 mph and a maximum range of 1150 miles. 
This C-1A (BuNo 136754) entered the Naval Aviation Museum collection from the USS Lexington (CVT-16) in 1976 following completion of its 15,000 service life hours and a flight deck accident with the C-1A from the USS Saratoga (CV-60) that caused the loss of part of one of it's wings.   I had the oportunity to ride in this aircraft as a passenger just before it's retirement.
