I remember that. It was suppose to replace the venerable A 6 intruder.

We retired the last of the EA-6B eletronic warfare aircraft last I heard, short sighted in my eyes.
As far as I understand there are no more Intruders in our inventory.

The Avenger II program had more issues to it, I somewhat made it simplistic, but some of the issues could have been alleviated.
Like, the radar absorbing material it was initially designed with (supposedly) had iron filings embedded in it which made it unsuitable for seaborne operations.
