S-2 Trackers (affectionately known as the "Stoof") are long gone, plus, they had recips, not turboprops. No Bozo's question would be better phrased in the plural, as the answer is both the E-2 Hawkeye and the C-2 Greyhound (or "COD" for Carrier Onboard Delivery).

Other non-A and F carrier-capable fixed wing aircraft:
S-3 Viking (no longer a part of any carrier air wing)
EA-6B Prowler
EA-18G Growler
T-45 Goshawk

And, the C-130! (For test purposes only- see the link below.)

U-2s have also operated from aircraft carriers.
