Various causes: Engine failure, fuel contamination, crashed coming aboard ship. The one I am somewhat familiar with, the cause was never determined for sure. Just lost at sea.
But with so many fatalities in so short a period of time, they were grounded.
When we - USS MIDWAY were, much to our surprise, suddenly assigned a C-1A Buno 146036 just prior to our April 1971 deployment, we were told we would be required to assume a major role in our COD support while at sea, with minimal services from the C-1 VR Det. at NAS Cubi Pt. while "on the line". The reason given, was that the entire (new) C-1A fleet had been grounded indefinitely while problems in the propeller systems were investigated and reengineered. I do not think the E-2 was involved with the problems/mass grounding. That recollection from 40+ years past.

Thank you gentlemen for the information!
Was going through some old pictures that I took a few years ago but didn't get posted and thought I'd share.

I've seen some creative interpretation of night time (red ink) but apparently you Marine types take the cake!
Red time is combat time for Marines.
Night time doesn't have a color.

You learn something every day. That has got to be confusing for the dudes who've crossed the streams...so to speak.
Yeah, I mean I'd look like a war hero if that was what my red ink meant

Of course it does...green
