Those are Lockheed L-188 Electras. The Navy flew a variant that was the P-3 but the P-3 has a distinctive boom off the tail. So it could be either the Electra or P-3s with the booms removed.

Lockheed only built 170* L-188 Electra airliners.

757* P-3 Orions were built for naval patrol service.

This is a US Navy installation.

I'm betting that these are P-3s.

Two C-130s, two P-3C Orions, one EP-3 Orion.
