1, You're the world champion growler.

2, Boeing today announced that EA-18G Growler airborne electronic attack aircraft have been deployed for the first time by the U.S. Navy.

3, The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) is capable of intercepting and destroying airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), and can simultaneously engage up to six targets.

4, The Growler is able to keep its weapons charged up and humming by lowering special turbines into the airstream that rushes past the plane when it is flying.

5, But another plane, the Boeing Growler,(http:///growler.html) uses electromagnetics as offensive weapons.

6, Hot off the presses, the Growler is a lightly armed version of the F/A-18 fighter that has been updated for electronic warfare (it is currently being delivered to the Navy).

7, The Growler is now in production and undergoing operational evaluation by the Navy, which plans to stand up the first two fleet Growler squadrons later this year.

10, Within this area, the J-20 would cripple a US Navy fleet by destroying its airborne control aircraft; tanker aircraft for airborne refuelling; and electronic warfare aircraft like the F/A-18G Growler.

11, Boeing, acting as the weapon system integrator and prime contractor, leads the EA-18G Growler industry team, which also includes Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and General Electric Aircraft Engines.
