F/A-18E/Fs On USS George HW Bush

Navy personnel aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) work around the clock to ensure the carrier is capable of doing its most important job: protecting the United States. Central to the nation's security is the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the newest and most advanced tactical aircraft in the Navy fleet. The Super Hornet's ability to complete a wide range of missions is critical to protecting the United States. "The Super Hornet is a great asset for the nation and our Navy," said Cheever. "It's what we use to project power from the strike group and protect the sea lines of communication." The confidence of those operating the Super Hornet on board the carrier is essential to the success of the missions.
