One of many aircraft handlers, identified by wearing a bright “yellow shirt,” is responsible for directing aircraft around the carrier’s relatively small and chaotic deck. As one can imagine, the deck of a carrier is a very loud place, so the handlers “speak” through a myriad of hand signals. His current signal is directing the pilot to turn hard left, and during the turn the pilot will be directed to another yellow shirt handler, the catapult officer.
The order was given, “Launch the Growler.” The Growler is an
EA-18G, which is an electronic warfare version of the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet that joined the fleet in 2009 to replace the aged Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler. It and It is capable of jamming enemy communications, and airborne and surface-to-air radar, as well as being capable to perform all other missions of the Super Hornet.
