Well done to the type and the crews. An underappreciated airframe and mission.

Carrier decks and Marine Air Groups used to be much more interesting with a variety of unique types. Not so long ago an Carrier Air Wing would have had F-14, F/A-18 A/C, F/A-18E/F, S-3, EA-6B, E-2, C-2 and H-60 (and not much before that A-6, A-7, K/EC-3, S-3 helos....) Now it will be F/A-18 E/F/G, E-2, CV-22 and H-60. Capable, but not nearly the personality.
