CP-140A Arcturus merge into this article

The Arcturus seems to be only a subvariant of the Aurora, basically the same aircraft just lacking the ASW capabilities. --Denniss 18:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

The introduction here informes us that: "In Greek mythology, Aurora is the Greek goddess who restored Orion's eyesight, and also the Aurora Borealis are the "northern lights" that are prominent over northern Canada and the Arctic Ocean".
Is any of that relevant? And if it is (some allusion to the aircraft's function, perhaps, or an explanation of why it was named so (in which case it would need a reference to confirm it)) should it be in the introduction? It's hardly the most significant fact about the plane, is it?
And I assume the CP-140A was named for the star Arcturus (or one of these; the rock band, maybe?): Does that need mentioning as well? Moonraker12 (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One might assume that Aurora, being an Orion with updated S-3 systems, is aptly named - perhaps surprisingly so. Definitely informative and indeed one of the few times that Wiki has actually provided some useful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.17 (talk) 18:16, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replacement?

I cannot find any reference to this but I wonder whether the Kawasaki P-1 was considered? I know that the UK did look at the type for their own MPA programme. Gentleman wiki (talk) 23:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Announcement to proceed with buying the Boeing P-8A with first deliveries projected for 2026 if the project is not delayed:
