Lousy aircraft recognition skills at CNN

Their home page shows a picture of a plane taking off from an aircraft carrier. The caption reads, "A S-3B Viking takes off from the USS Enterprise today". Geeze, don't they know an EA-6B from an S-3B? I can only hope the rest of their reporting is more accurate than this caption. Maybe I should cut them some slack, they got the "B" part of the designations right. Still, those are radically different planes with different missions. They don't look anything alike.
