I realize this is probably a large and complicated subject and varied
between aircraft and carriers, but just as a gross oversimplification
when would naval carrier aircraft typically fold up their wings and
unfold them?

In my experience with S2s (now approaching 35 years old ;-) ) wings
were folded immediately upon landing (hook up, flaps up, wings folded)
S-2's or S-3's?? S-2's are now approaching 60 years old. S-3's would
be in the neighborhood of 35 yr old....

I suspect he means his experiences with S2's ended 35 years ago. Which given
the age of the S3 adds up nicely ;-)
