Not strictly true, after the Albacore was retired the primary assets were the Barracuda and the Avenger. The Swordfish however was still serving in the niche of ASW from Escort and Merchant Aircraft Carriers something the Albacore had never done as far as I can tell. It may not even have been able to take-off and land on a MAC.
