EA-18G "Growler"

Same as what happened in the mid-1970s, when we migrated to the CV deck
(from the split CVA / CVS dedicated decks). Among other taskings was
that the A-6s would become secondary SSSC platforms, and the primary
delivery platform for the later-cancelled CAPTOR (encapsulated torpedo)
weapon.

Regarding CAPTOR, "later canceled" must mean "served for more than 20
years and was retired". CAPTOR was fielded in 1979 and phased out
around 2002.

Tom,

I had heard otherwise, but then I've been gone from the Canoe Club for 30 years now. Thanks for the correction.
