US Navy marks delivery of 500th Super Hornet/Growler

May 01-15, 2011

Boeing and the US Navy celebrated a milestone delivery on April 20 in St. Louis: 500 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and derivative EA-18G Growlers have joined the Navy’s tactical aircraft fleet.

The Super Hornet Block II is the Navy’s frontline strike fighter, deploying leading-edge technology and multirole strike capability around the globe. The EA-18G is now the premier airborne electronic attack platform in the Navy’s arsenal and the United States’ newest tactical aircraft, providing the ability to block enemy radar and electronic systems.

“The Super Hornet and Growler, both combat-deployed, have continuously increased capability for the warfighter while reducing cost for the Navy and the taxpayer,” F/A-18 and EA-18 Programs Vice President Kory Mathews said at the ceremony. “Boeing has delivered every F/A-18E/F and EA-18G to the US Navy on budget and ahead of schedule.”
