This TBM-3 conversion was the first ship based airborne early warning control and relay platform and housed an APS-20 radar in ventral radome. The -3W remained in service with the US fleet until the mid 1950, when it was replaced by early warning versions of the Grumman AF Guardian and Douglas AD Skyraider.
