Grumman S-2 Tracker

The airplane departed USS Yorktown on a maritime patrol flight off the North Vietnam coast. While cruising by night, the crew reported problems with the radar. Shortly later, the airplane crashed into the sea some 40 km off Hòn Mê Island, North Vietnam. Three days later, part of the starboard wing was found but no trace of the four crew members.

The twin engine airplane departed Shearwater on a routine training flight to Toronto with a scheduled fuel stop at Montreal-Saint-Hubert Airport. On board were four crew members, three pilots and one technician. A GCA approach was made to runway 15 but the aircraft was cleared for a circling approach and landing to runway 27. After completing a normal GCA the aircraft commenced the circling procedure to runway 27. While initiating a turn to the left at an altitude of 300-500 feet, the airplane stalled and crashed at a speed of 85 knots in the backyard of a private property located 1,4 NM southeast of the control tower, bursting into flames. The airplane was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.

The crew departed USS Kearsarge on a training mission over the South China Sea. The accident occurred in unknown circumstances, causing the death of both crew members.

The Tracker was lost while on a logistics flight to the USS Hornet in the Gulf of Tonkin. The aircraft suffered a loss of oil pressure in the starboard engine and the propeller had to be feathered but the aircraft could not maintain altitude and had to be ditched. All four crew members were picked up safely.

The twin engine aircraft departed USS Kearsarge for a night patrol flight overt the Gulf of Tonkin. After about three hours the carrier lost radar contact with the aircraft and at first light other aircraft were launched to search for the Tracker. The wreckage and personal flight gear was spotted in the water about 55 miles northeast of Huế but there was no sign of any of the crew.

On the night of 21/22 January 1966, the Tracker was launched from USS Hornet to provide surveillance cover for the SAR destroyers that operated close to the North Vietnamese coastline and which were occasionally challenged by enemy patrol boats and small craft. Under the control of a guided missile destroyer, the USS Berkeley, the Tracker was investigating an unidentified radar screen. Within a few hours of the aircraft's disappearance Hanoi Radio reported that a US aircraft had been shot down in the Gulf of Tonkin to the south of Bach Long Vi Island. The time was good at the time of the loss and the sea was very calm, which might have made depth perception difficult for the crew. An extensive search was conducted in the Gulf for days, afterwards and on 1 February a four-man liferaft from the Tracker was picked up some 150 miles from the aircraft's last known position. On 14 March Lt Templin's flying helmet was found in the same area as the raft. However, no trace of the crew was ever found and they were all declared dead in 1975.
