How long did the Navy continue using propeller-driven attack aircraft after World War 2?

The U.S. Navy continued using propeller-driven attack aircraft well into the 1950s, with the last major variant, the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, remaining in service until the early 1970s. While jet aircraft began to dominate naval aviation after World War II, the Skyraider was valued for its versatility and effectiveness in close air support roles during conflicts like the Vietnam War. Ultimately, the transition to all-jet fleets marked the end of the propeller-driven era in naval aviation.
