Those new fans are very good. Navy is starting to fit them on their awacs and other prop driven craft. 130's should be getting the retrofit soon.
No they arent per say
The above Hurricane Hunter is a C-130J. It uses all new engines (to the c-130 that is) made by Rolls Royce and six bladed props. You will only find the six bladed props on brand new J model, Its not retrofitable to previous models.
The only prop planes the navy have are the P-3C orion, E-2C/D Hawkeye and C-2 Grey hound.
All three uses the T-56 Engine made by Allision.
The P-3 will never recieve new props.
The E-2C hawkeye spins a 4 bladed prop that is different than the P-3's
The E-2D hawkeye spins an all new 8 bladed prop but still uses the T-56 engine. The -2D is still in testing, but is nearly service ready
The C-2 Greyhound which was an E-2 built for COD services will also be recieving this new prop when each aircraft gets their service life extention upgrade.
However the new props found on the E-2/C-2 have been retrofitted to a sole C-130H for testing. If they determine, its worthwhile, the AF said they may retrofit them to newer "classic" models of the C-130. But its not going to be a fleet wide thing.
