More info:

The Grumman C-1 Trader was a carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft that served in the United States Navy from 1956 to 1988. It was a variant of the Grumman S-2 Tracker anti-submarine warfare aircraft, modified to carry cargo and passengers. The C-1 Trader had a large fuselage pod that could accommodate up to nine passengers or 3,500 pounds of cargo. It also had a retractable tailhook and folding wings for carrier operations.
The C-1 Trader was powered by two Wright R-1820 radial engines, each producing 1,525 horsepower. The C-1 Trader had a maximum speed of 280 miles per hour, a range of 1,300 miles, and a service ceiling of 22,000 feet. The C-1 Trader was used for various missions, such as transporting mail, supplies, personnel, and priority cargo between aircraft carriers and shore bases. It also performed medical evacuation, courier service, and VIP transport. The C-1 Trader was replaced by the Grumman C-2 Greyhound in the late 1980s.
