MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — The Navy will bring 36 more Growler jets to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

The additional jets and personnel are expected to gradually arrive at NAS Whidbey between now and 2022.

The Navy says they will also take various steps to reduce jet noise, including using new technologies to quiet the engines and improve the precision of landing.

They say the addition of 36 Growlers is necessary to maintain the Navy’s overall electronic attack capabilities.
