The A-6 and KA-6 (tanker variant) are retired. There are some "purple" Prowler squadrons with mixed USN/USAF aircrews.

The Navy is looking at an electronic attack variant of the F/A-18F, the EA-18G.

Yes, the A-6. I wasn't aware that the EF-111 was out of service, tho I certainly haven't heard hide nor hair of it for a good while.
