No doubt that the USN will continue with the Hawkeye on the large carriers. But on the new LHA(R), I believe a AEW V-22 variant could be optimum.I could really imagine the V-22 to be adapted to more roles with it's versatelity.
Though it's handling difficulties and the price may be a burden.
The RN and the USMC would sure benefit from an AEW/C4ISR version of the aircraft. The USN will stick with the E-2D I believe. Maybe they will figure out they need longer range ASW capabilities in some years.
As to long range ASW...the USN had an excellent aircraft designed specifically for that...the S-3 Viking, which was retired early (far too early if you ask me). I believe an ASW variant of the V-22 would be great (and much needed) for both the large deck carriers and the new LHA(R) when they come on line.
