Or are you by chance thing of the P-2 Neptune which was a twin and did
operate in a limited sense from flattops?

No counter-rotating props there, either...

Plus there's very few twin P-2's too, most have are four engines.

Actually, the P-2V Neptune was a twin.

The Neptune came in multiple flavors: P2V-1, P2V-3 and P2V-5
were twins with various flavors of R-3350s. The P2V-7 on the other
hand had a pair of J34s to go along with its flavor of R-3350s.
If you start talking foreign version, the Japanese even had a turbo
prop version.
I don't have the production figures handy to check the statement
that "most" had four engines.
