Between July 1987 and July 1991, all east coast S-3 AAircraft were modified by a contractor field team at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field,Florida. In March 1992, a contractor field team at NAS North Island, California, beganmodifying west coast S-3A Aircraft to the S-3B Aircraft configuration and completedmodifications in September 1994.

2 The S-3B Aircraft is in Phase III, Production, Fielding,Deployment, and Operational Support phase of the Weapon SYSTEM Acquisition fiscal year 1992, ten aircraft S-3B squadrons were reduced to six aircraft. In 1993,aircraft assets for deployed squadrons were increased to eight, to meet increased operationalrequirements caused by retirement of the A-6E from the navy inventory. All S-3B squadrons arecurrently configured and manned for eight of the S-3B Aircraft peculiar equipment was developed under current equipmentand S-3 Aircraft maintenance plans. Interim support was provided by the equipment is conducted at three levels (organizational, intermediate, and depot) as establishedby OPNAVINST squadron manpower requirements remain unchanged.

3 Intermediate levelmaintenance billets are assigned to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD)Sea Operational and initial TRAINING to support the S-3B Aircraft has been completed. Follow-onPilot, Naval Flight Officer, and aircrew TRAINING is provided by the Fleet Readiness Squadron, VS-41.
