Hi Kayla,
I am a retired carrier aviator who served in Vinson. If you have some specific questions please don't hesitate to ask.

It's kind of a queer plane with those gold-infused cockpit windows, etc.
 
The Prowler was the first Navy plane capable of making a carrier landing on a "hands off" basis. The pilot could lock into the carrier's electronics and then sit back and "relax" while the plane landed itself (kind of a scary thought).

I have no idea what it's capable of today, as the landing bit was possible back in the 70's.
 
Everyone that helped, thanks! Rick, I really appreciate it. I will definetley have some questions, so its a really big help!:)

i thought you were going to give a link to an aircraft that was loaded up to the eyeballs with weapons, not an ECM plane with a couple of machine guns or a rocket or 2! :(
