The Grumman A-6 was the US Navy's premier precision strike aircraft for over 30 years. First introduced in 1963, the A-6 saw extensive service in Vietnam and continued its life with various upgrades until being retired in 1997. The A-6E variant was the definitive attack version of the Intruder, capable of carrying a laundry list of NATO ordnance and featuring a wide array of electronics. In total, 693 A-6s were built and they served the Navy with distinction over an illustrious career.
