US Navy Electronic Attack Squadron 192 (VAQ-192) "Star Warriors" was established at NAS Norolk, Virginia on October 1, 1977. Initially equipped with the EA-6A Intruder, the squadron received special permission from Lucasfilm to use the name and Darth Vader's likeness in their livery. In May 1990, the squadron relocated to NAF Washington, Maryland and upgraded to the EA-6B Prowler. After flying the EA-6B for 23 years, the squadron moved to NAS Whidbey Island, Washington and transitioned to the EA-18G Growler.
Developed from the EA-6A Electronic Intruder, the EA-6B is a carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft that was first flown on May 25th, 1968. The Prowler is a key element in any USN or USMC strike-force by disrupting and jamming enemy radio and radar signals, providing protection for attacking aircraft as they carry out their mission. The aircraft can also be equipped with anti-radiation missiles desigend to home-in on enemy radar installations and neutralize surface-to-air missile threats. After a long history with the EA-6B, the US Navy began transitioning to the F/A-18G Growler in 2009. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
