History

The F/A-18F Super Hornet was developed as a larger, more capable evolution of the original Hornet, designed to meet the United States Navy’s need for a versatile carrier based strike fighter. With increased range, payload and improved survivability, it became a central element of modern naval aviation.

Entering service in the early 2000s, the twin seat F variant expanded mission flexibility, supporting strike coordination, training and complex multirole operations. The Super Hornet has seen extensive operational use across multiple theatres, proving adaptable to evolving mission requirements and serving as the backbone of US Navy carrier air wings in the modern era.
