About Us The Rooks first deployed in 1974 with CVW-14 for a Western Pacific cruise onboard USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65), providing essential electronic surveillance for Operation FREQUENT WIND, the evacuation of Americans from Saigon. In 2013, the command transitioned from the EA-6B Prowler to the new EA-18G Growler. The EA-18G Growler aircraft we fly represents the most advanced technology in airborne Electronic Attack and stands as the Navy’s first line of defense in hostile environments. A variant of the F/A-18F Super Hornet Block II, the EA-18G Growler combines the capability of the combat-proven Super Hornet with the latest AEA avionics suite evolved from the Improved Capability III (ICAP III) system. The EA-18G’s vast array of sensors and weapons provides the warfighter with a lethal and survivable weapon system to counter current and emerging threats.
