"Rooks" Electronic Attack Squadron VAQ-137 conduct flight operations on USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 in the Pacific (7th Fleet).

The EA-18G is extremely advanced Electronic Warfare aircraft. It's capabilities are a closely guarded secret that few people even understand (I'm not one of them, btw) 🤷

Very nice, but how old are the F-18s. Is the plan to still replace them with the F-35 even though they aren’t being cost effective?

We were supported by USN EA squadrons during OIF. I’m not sure exactly what they did to counter IEDs, but I do know were used for that purpose. Also some of the USN EW officers were attached to us to provide expertise in EW.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice nothing but gas tanks on the wings?

Growlers are 2 seaters, right? If that is true, then the single seaters must be FA-18E's.

I should not have implied that all the photos were EA-18. Next time, I will be more specific.
