The aircraft that are used by the Navy fall into various categories, and these include combat, AWACS, electronic warfare, maritime patrol, transport, helicopter, and trainer aircraft.

The Boeing EA-18G is an electronic warfare aircraft that serves as a specialized version of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, another widely used aircraft by the Navy. The EA-18G Growler contains an ALQ-218 receiver, ALQ-99 jamming pods, communication countermeasures, and satellite communication capability, making it useful for electronic warfare operations. It also contains weaponry including AIM-120 and AGM-88 HARM missiles. Since their first flight in 2006, the EA-18G has participated in a variety of operations over the years. Currently, there are over 150 EA-18G units in active service under the United States Navy.

The E-2C Hawkeye is an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft that is manufactured by Northrop Grumman and has 88 units currently in service. The E-2C Hawkeye has been in service since 1973 and had achieved one million hours of flight in 2004. To conduct operations, the E-2C Hawkeye has an auto-detection radar, airborne computers, and a memory and data link system. The radar of the E-2C is immensely powerful, capable of detecting targets within three million cubic miles. When detected, the E-2C can simultaneously track over 600 targets and control 40 airborne intercepts.
