The Aircraft Carrier Air Wing

The typical air wing aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier usually contains three FA-18 squadrons, one F-14 squadron, one S-3 squadron, one EA-6B squadron, one E-2C squadron, and one helicopter squadron. You can find detailed information on each of these aircraft by selecting the silhouette. That will take you to the Navy Fact File for that particular aircraft.
