F/A-18 Hornet dadi dhasar kanggone pengembangan F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, yakni pesawat tempur rancang-ulang F/A-18 kang luwih gedhé lan evolusioner. Ketimbang karo Hornet, Super Hornet berukuran luwih gedhé, luwih abot, lan ana perbaikan sjroné hal daya jelajah lan daya muaté. F/A-18E/F awalé diusulaké minangka alternatif kanggo pesawat tempur kang sama sekali anyar kanggo ngganteni pesawat serang kang isih bertugas kaya ta A-6. Varian kang luwih gedhé uga diarahake kanggo ngganteni F-14 Tomcat kang wis meh uzur, kanti menkono bisa saling berganti-tugas karo Hornet ing Angkatan Laut Amérika Sarékat, lan bertugas ing rentang peran kang luwih amba meliputi pengisian bahan bakar ing udara, lan anjungan pengacau kelistrikan (electronic jamming platform).
