WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy will replace the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft in Japan with a newer variant, possibly starting in 2021, according to a U.S. military official.
CMV-22Bs will replace the two aging C-2 Greyhounds attached to the U.S. aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan based at the U.S. Navy’s Yokosuka base in Kanagawa Prefecture starting in 2021, or as late as 2026, the official said Monday.
