Aircraft; Procedure; Human Factors
After doing touch and go's; my CFI and I departed the pattern to the east to return home. After our final touch and go a Grumman S-2T took off behind us. Immediately after departing the Delta airspace and changing frequencies the aircraft overtook us on our right side. I remember being able to clearly read the letters on the side of the aircraft. It is unclear if the aircraft ever had visual on us; however; we were never warned of a potential traffic conflict by Tower. This may have been avoided by better situational awareness of the traffic in the area and of what is being said on the radios.
C172 pilot reported a NMAC with a Grumman S-2T shortly after takeoff.
