I do believe the 111 was officially called the Aardvark when it retired from the US inventory.

The EF-111(Raven) had similar capabilities as the EA-6, but the Raven was not capable of carrier operations and did not carry any weapon like the Prowler can.

The 111 was originally designed for the Navy for fleet defense but due to it's weight, high landing speed and side by side cockpit (among other reasons), the Navy backed out of it's development.
