Rarely seen, a near clean Growler. This EA-18G Lot 37 was ordered in FY13 and delivered to the US Navy on 29 January 2015. It was assigned to the Naval Air Warfighting Development Centre (pronounced at NAW-DIK) up to late 2019, early 2020. In June 2015 the NAWDC was redesignated into the Naval Air Warfare Center (pronounced as EN-SOCK). The Growler was transferred to VAQ-132 (NL-531) in early 2020 and later to VAQ-138 (NL-515) in late 2021. It later became AF-504 with VAQ-209 and as such at least up to late 2024.
