Ready for another flight, this A-6E was delivered to the US Navy as A-6A in 1971. It was transferred to the USMC in 1989 and started to serve Marine Attack Squadron (All Waether) 242 "Bats". Later on it was returned to the US Navy and from that massive force retired to AMARC on 22 July 1996 and received inventory code 5A0203. It left for HVF West Tucson in October 2015 and was scrapped.
