It’s not enough to achieve air superiority. To keep the nation safe from our adversaries, the United States must secure air supremacy. The only way to achieve this goal is through a diverse fighter fleet that features the F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet.

The F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet plays a critical role in America’s national defense strategy and it must remain the backbone of our naval aerial fleet.
