Hornet and Super Hornet are so different that they are totally different aircraft. Like the old WW2 Wildcat vs the Hellcat. They only resemble each other in name and if you are suffering from a head injury.
the Navy has been increasingly divesting from the Hornet well Rhino and Lightning II take the roles and those remaining are handed down to the Marines. https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/su...owler-ea-18g-thread.t6605/page-14#post-548709
