Various combat jets on the neck of an american aircraft carrier.

Notably, from background to foreground:

Several F/A 18 hornets

Two Lockheed S-3 Viking

Four Grumman F14 Tomcats

After wiping the vomit from my mouth, I felt the urge to figure out what the fuck this abomination was.

Apparently, it’s an Anti Submarine Warfare aircraft that came out of the British Empire, after the Second World War. The first seat is the pilot. Second seat is an Aerial Observer, and the final seat appears to be the fellow who controls the small radome that the plane can deploy. I forgot to mention, they made dedicated Airborne Early Warning versions of these. If it were the regular ASW variant, the second bubble would simply house a fellow to act as another set of eyes, as only the AEW variants had a radome for him to control.

Oh, rather important bit of information-

It’s a carrier based aircraft, with a double fold set of wings. 

And the final thing that makes this aircraft unique is that it’s the only carrier aircraft that I’m aware of to have two contra-rotating propellers.
