Isn’t an Orion for ASW? I thought that the aircraft forced down had a different mission than ASW. Some kind of electronic surveillance mission. Maybe it had the same airframe, but different equipment on board.

An EP-3 Aries was the plane forced down.

Most are of the ASW version but some are of an ELINT version. And yes, I think the one forced down was an ELINT version.
