Lcdr. R. E. Sykes Officer-in-charge Though Light Photographic Squadron Sixty-Three has had several designations since the unit ' s original formation in the late forties, its primary mission of furnishing photographic intelligence in support of naval operations has remained constant. This squadron, designated as Light Photographic Squadron Sixty-Three on July 1 of last year, currently flys the F8U-1P super sonic jet Crusador, due to be replaced by the Phamtom Two F4H sometime in the near future. Home-based at NAS Miramar, the squadron placed a detachment aboard every carrier that participated in the Korean Conflict and today places a detachment with every West Coast carrier deploying to WESTPAC. These teams possess the capability of taking photographs of military objectives from 50 feet off the deck to altitudes above 50,000 feet at speeds greater than the speed of sound, while also being capable of preparing first-phase photographic interpretation reports and rough maps.
