The proposed EF-18 is going to be called the Growler...how original.

Intruders were decommissioned but not Prowlers...those are the only tactical airborne jamming platform available to the US military now, if you discount the cargo/airliner conversions. The Navy should be in the middle of rolling out a capability upgrade right now for the Prowlers, in fact...these birds most likely won't go away until the electronic-warfare version of the Super Hornet comes online in squadron-level numbers, and even then they might retain them.
