Default Prowler squadrons cuts

I've just found it on NavyNewsStand:

"From Commander, Naval Air Forces Public Affairs

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Commander, Naval Air Forces has identified an
excess of student naval aviators (pilots) in the training pipeline,
based on current and near-term fleet needs. Starting immediately,
several steps will be taken to meet future fleet requirements.

Commander, Naval Air Forces and Commander, Naval Education and
Training Command are committed to identifying and training the number
of aviators necessary to meet fleet requirements. The reduced
requirements are due to several factors, including the accelerated
transition to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet from the F-14 Tomcat, the
sundowning of the S-3 Viking community, and the disestablishment of
two EA-6B Prowler squadrons. [...]"


The most of these facts seem obvious, but what about these two
deactivated Prowler squadrons? One of them is expeditionary
(land-based) VAQ-128, but what about the other? Do you have any ideas?

Best regards,

Jacek
