The F/A-18E is the Single Seat Variant, the F is the Duel Seat Variant, and the E/A-18G (which comes from the F/A-18F variant) is the Electronic Variant.
Origins
Origins of the Super Hornets were to replace the United States Navy’s aging F-14 Fleet, The F-14’s were getting old and the Classic Hornets were made to replace earlier models of the F-14.
Testing and Production
The testing and production went well for Boeing, the F/A-18’s were slowly phasing out the older F-14B’s, and from 2006 until the 2020’s the US Navy’s fleet was all Hornet variants until the F-35C Lightning II was introduced into the Navy.
