    PROWLER stands for: Proven Resource Over Water Leading Electronic Response :) (I own it) signed: Former U.S. Navy Aviation Boatswain.

    I love the Intruder/Prowler aircraft... What a unique heavy hitter, and EW groundbreaking escort. Jamming radar and such, was and IS a very important mission

    As much as I miss the old diverse Navy with the Tomcats and Prowlers I think they have made the right move by Turning the Hornet into such a multirole platform including the Growler. It just makes sense.
