Here's an older F/A 18 a Carrier based aircraft. There's newer versions called the Super F/A 18 and the EA 18 "Growler".
The Super F/A 18s are the replacement for the venerable F-14s. I think it's a shame the F-14s were retired seeing as how they had a much better radar and weapons system than the 18's, but apparently this was more cost effective. What I've read shows they're doing a good enough job though.
The "Growler"'s EA designation marks it as Electronics Warfare for those curious.
