Rear Admiral Michael Manazir, director of air warfare
for the U.S. chief of naval operations, told lawmakers that the Navy was
working to speed up maintenance of older-model F/A-18s, but would also
need to buy more new F/A-18E/F jets to avert a shortfall in strike fighters
for its aircraft carriers.
The combat-proven F/A-18E/F Super Hornet delivers cutting-edge next generation multi-role strike fighter capability that is available today, outdistancing current and emerging threats well into the future. |
