SEATTLE — (Nov. 20, 2014) — A P-8A Poseidon aircraft departs Boeing Field  
in Seattle for NAS Jacksonville, Fla., where it will join other Poseidon  
aircraft as part of the "War Eagles" of Patrol Squadron (VP) 16, the Navy's  
first operational P-8A squadron. This marks the delivery of the 19th 
long-range  maritime patrol aircraft to the Navy. The multi-mission aircraft, based 
on the  next-generation Boeing 737-800 platform, provides anti-submarine 
warfare,  anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
 capabilities, and will replace the Navy P-3 Orion fleet. (USN photo
