The EA-6B Prowler was a dedicated electronic warfare aircraft developed for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, entering service in 1971. Based on the A-6 Intruder airframe, the Prowler featured a lengthened fuselage and a four-seat cockpit housing a pilot and three electronic countermeasures officers. Its mission was to jam enemy radar and communications, gather electronic intelligence, and support strike aircraft by degrading enemy air defences. A total of 170 EA-6Bs were built. The Prowler served in nearly every major U.S. military operation from Vietnam through Desert Storm, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. It could also carry AGM-88 HARM missiles to suppress surface-to-air missile sites. Despite often operating in high-threat environments, the Prowler had a remarkably low loss rate, with only a handful of combat-related losses, mostly due to accidents rather than enemy fire. The EA-6B was officially retired in 2019, replaced by the EA-18G Growler.

Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony.  This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.

Flex fit , embroidered lettering and good shipping time. That's all you need from a hat and I Love Hangar delivered!
