Started with the USN as BuNo 144865 in 1960 as a A3D-2T navigator/bomb-aimer trainer, redesigned as TA-3B in 1962. After service with VAH-123 and RVAH-3, converted to a UA-3B staff transport for VR-1 at Andrews AFB. In 1974, to MASDC but returned in 1980, assigned by 1986 to VQ-1. In 1989 it was converted to ERA-3B for VQ-2 and in 1989 transferred to Chrysler then Hughes Aerospace as N575HA. Back with VQ-2 it saw action in Desert Storm as an EA-3B. Raytheon operated it for testing from 1994 as N875RS and in June 2011 it made the last flight of a Skywarrior on retirement to NMNA

On display on the deck of museum ship CV-10 USS Yorktown. Derived from the A3D Skywarrior designed to operate from supercarriers as a nuclear bomber, the seven-seat EA-3B was the electronic recce and ECM variant. A crew of four operated the long Q-Band sideways looking ventral radar. The type entered service in Apr 1960 and was still flying during Op Desert Storm, standing down in 1991. This EA-3B served with VQ-1 "World Watchers" at NAS Agana, was embarked on CNV-70 USS Carl Vinson and went to VQ-2 "Sandeman" at NAVSTA Rota. It was saved for preservation by many donors and volunteers.

Still incredible how the Whale was operated from aircraft carriers, with a maximum take-off weight of over 80,000 lbs (37 tonnes). Last served with VQ-2, coded JV-003, and went to AMARC in October 1990 as 2A0126. With the museum since November 2012 and painted with older VQ-2 markings.

Most of the museum's aircraft are airworthy, but this impressive Skywarrior is on static display next to the museum hangar.

Nicknamed "The Whale" by its crews, the A-3 Skywarrior is the largest and heaviest aircraft ever designed for regular operation from an aircraft carrier. Although long since having lost their strategic bombing role, the Navy used electronic warfare and aerial tanker versions of the Skywarrior into the 1970s and a few remained in test programs as late as the 1990s. six A3D-1 bombers were converted to YA3D-1Q (YEA-3A) ECM aircraft with a pressurised crew compartment replacing the bomb bay. This one served the NATC at Patuxent River, MD
