Jason Manning needs to do his homework. The ECM mission was handled by Marine Tactical ELectronic Warfare Squadron Two, VMAQ-2 DET Y5, flying EA-6B Prowlers embarked on board USS America. Not the Corsairs and Hornets. Also Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons VMFA-323 and VMFA-314 embarked on USS Coral Sea participated in the raid. This was the first use of the F/A-18 in combat operations.
