Originally built for USN as S2F-1 Bureau Number 144720. Transferred to the JMSDF on 20 June 1959. In 1970 -1971 it was converted to a S2F-U target towing a/c. All the JMSDF S2F-1s retained the USN Bureau Number on the fuselage under the horizonal stabilizer. Sorry for the slightly blurry image.

This slide was taken from the flight deck of USS Midway. KA-6D NF-523 of VA-115 refueling EA-3B Bureau Number 142671 of VQ-1 as part of the Midlink 75 exercise airshow. One of the guests aboard CV-41 for the airshow was the Shah of Iran. As the A-3 was not the easiest a/c to take on fuel from a tanker a/c under normal circumstances this is an impressive display of airmanship by the "Whale" pilot.
