The U.S. Navy on Monday said it had ordered 210 F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet attack jets worth $8.5 billion from BOEING CO. and would
pay Boeing $979 million to develop and demonstrate a new
variant, the EA-18G, with upgraded weapons. The Navy had
previously ordered 222 Super Hornets under a 5-year deal that
expires in 2004 and had been expected to buy a total of at
least 548 by 2010, according to Boeing's Web site.

So the original 526 already have adds.

Nope. This is the middle batch of the 548, and the final hundred or so
aren't being bought (the final batch was supposed to be in the 2010 time
frame, and the current 210 buy is though 2011).

So they *cut* the buy, they didn't add. But you knew that.
