U.S. Navy ordered 210 Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet attack jets
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. Deliveries under the latest contract will run from 2007 through 2011 at an average rate of 42 a year from Boeing's assembly line in St. Louis. The Navy has an option to buy up to six more jets per year.
