Opinion: I doubt that a sufficient number of EA-6Bs will hold together long enough for a 2015 EA-35B service introduction, at least not without massive $$-cost rebuilds.

"In response to the Department of the Navy's need to replace its aging
EA-6B Prowler electronic attack aircraft, Lockheed Martin has proposed
the development of a two-seat electronic attack variant of the JSF.
Dubbed the EA-35B, the aircraft could potentially be available by 2015,
according to industry representatives"

Wouldn't the F-22 be a much better platform for this with more power,
speed and stealth?
