F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

Twin-engine, carrier-suitable multirole strike fighter built by Boeing (originally McDonnell Douglas) that replaced the F-14 Tomcat and is replacing F/A-18C/D Hornets. It entered fleet service in 1999 and reached initial operational capability in September 2001. Production has shifted to the Block III configuration, with a contract for 78 new-build Block III jets.
