N CDMPCSITE SQUADRON THIRTY-THREE, y DETACHMENT F THREE ETACHMENT Three of COMPOSITE SQUADRON 33, whose home base is at Atlantic City, New Jersey, has had a full history aboard the U.S.S. Leyte. The first of its type to appear in the fleet as an operating unit of VC-33, Detachment Three was formed early in 1950 as a part of VC-4 to take part in the Mediterranean Cruise aboard the Leyte. Embodying all-weather training with electronic aids and guides, the Night-Attack mission was de- veloped to carry the fightito the enemy in conditions of poor weather and darkness. Extensive training was carried on by Detachment Three before reporting to the LEYTE and during the Medi- terranean Cruise in All-Weather-Night-Attack work. ' In August of 1950, when the LEYTE received 'orders to discontinue its Med Cruise and report to the Pacific Fleet for duty with the United Nations forces in K-orea, Detachment Three paused in the states only longenough to become a part of Composite Squadron Thirty-Three, which had taken over from VC-4 the activities of Night Attack in the Atlantic Fleet. Commanded by Lt. Fred W. Silverthorne, USN, Detachment Three applied its knowledge. of this new type warfare against the enemy in Korea throughout the LF.YTE's tour of duty with Task Force 774 Effectively carrying out Night Intruder, Weatliei' Reconnaisance and other special type missions against the enemy, the detachment proved the worthiness of carrier-based Night Attack in Combat.
