In June 1994 CVW-17 was transferred to USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) homeported in Norfolk, VA. In September 1994. CVW-17 moved its headquarters back to NAS Oceana, VA. Upon a successful 1996 deployment in ENTERPRISE, CVW-17 was transferred to USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69), also homeported in Norfolk, Va. In the summer of 1998, CVW-17 and EISENHOWER patrolled the Adriatic in an effort to keep peace in Yogoslavia. Following the 1998 Mediterranean cruise, CVW-17 was transferred to USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73), homeported in Norfolk VA. During “TEAM 90’s” (CVN 73 + CVW-17) combat deployment to the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean in 2000 CVW-17 broke numerous operational and positive safety records flying 9,300 sorties, 18,000 flight hours and logging 9,200 arrested landings. As a result of a banner de- ployment and unmatched operational excellence and teamwork, the CVW-17 CVN 73 team gar- nered 52 awards in 2000 including 6 Battle “E”s, four Safety “S”s, the RADM McCIuskey and RADM Clifton awards, and the first ever RADM Ramage award for operational excellence. Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN is currently composed of VFA-11 flying the F A-18F SUPER HORNET, VFA-34 and VFA-81 flying the F A-18C HORNET, VAW-121 flying the E-2C HAWKEYE, VAQ-132 flying the EA-6B (ICAPII) PROWLER, VS-22 flying the S-3B VIKING and HS-15 flying the SH-60F and HH-60H SEAHAWK.

A : COMMAND MASTER CHIEF The SUNLINERS of Strike Fighter Squadron EIGHT ONE CMDCM(AW SW) Ro� � ert Bostic (VFA-81) were originally commissioned as Fighter Squadron EIGHT ONE (VF-81) on 1 July 1955. Fighter Squadron EIGHT ONE was an ail weather fighter intercept squadron flying the Grumman F9F-8 “Cougar”. Originally named the CRUSADERS”, the squadron made two initial Mediterranean cruises. Following those deployments, the mission and designation of the squadron changed during a transition to the A4D-2 “SKYHAWK” in March 1959. After becoming Attack Squadron EIGHT ONE (VA-81), they made multiple deployments with Second and Sixth Fleet aboard USS SHANGRI - LA (CVA 38) and USS FORRESTAL (CV 59). During this time, the orange Supersonic Nothing” adorned the vertical stabilizer of three types of A-4’s. In 1963 the squadron adopted the name SUNLINERS, and the motto Anytime, Anyplace”. In February 1970, the SUNLINERS won the coveted Navy Battle E” for East Coast A-4 squadrons and were selected to be the first East Coast squadron to receive the Navy’s newest attack aircraft, the A-7E CORSAIR II. The SUNLINERS took their new aircraft aboard USS FORRESTAL (CV 59) with Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN (CVW-17) in January 1971 on their twelfth Mediterranean deployment. By the end of the 1974 competitive cycle, the orange tailed ZAPPERS” had demonstrated sustained excellence by winning three Light Attack Wing ONE bombing derbies and a second Navy Battle E”. A total of thirteen cruises were made to the Mediterranean with the A-7E. During the last Corsair cruise, the SUNLINERS won the CVW-17 Top Tail Hook Award and the Air Wing Bombing Derby. The highlight of 1987 was the squadron receiving its third Battle E” as the top East Coast A-7 squadron. Following the cruise, the SUNLINERS transitioned from the venerable A-7E to the Navy’s newest Fighter Attack aircraft, the F A-18C “Hornet”. The squadron was redesignated Strike Fighter Squadron EIGHT ONE (VFA-81) on 4 February 1988. On 7 August 1990, the SUNLINERS deployed with CVW 17 aboard USS SARATOGA (CV 60) for their first F A-18 “Hornet” cruise. This deployment took place one week after Iraq had invaded Kuwait, and VFA-81 participated in both Operation DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM as part of the Red Sea Battle Force. Before the war’s end, the SUNLINERS scored the Navy’s only two aerial victories by downing two Iraqi MiG-21’s. VFA-81 returned to NAS Cecil Field on 27 March 1991, following the swift coalition victory. After returning home the squadron found themselves deployed 6 May 1992. Onboard USS SARATOGA (CV 60), the squadron participated in several NATO exercises before returning home on 6 November 1992. In early 1994, the squadron flew in Operations DENY FLIGHT and PROVIDE PROMISE supporting United Nations (UN) resolutions in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the last deployment of USS SARATOGA (CV 60). This was-VFA-81’s third Hornet cruise, and the first Atlantic Fleet deployment with the AMRAAM missle. VFA-81 thencruised on the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) in 1996 for their 26th Mediterranean Cruise. Tber SUNLINERS participated in Operation SOUTHERN WATCH and mad the first carrier port call to Bahrain. The USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69) cruise began 10 June 1998 and found VFA-81 again in the Operation SOUTHERN WATCH arena. This was the first East Coast cruise of the new Joint Stand-OFF Weapon (JSOW), a long range, glide and cluster'fifefenb. Fd Nreirefcsfystional safety record, the squadron was awarded the Safety “S” for the 1998 CIL UpdTM� turning home from deployment, the SUNLINERS were relocated to NAS OceanSSttls was part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) that closed NAS Cecil Field. The end of the work up cycle led to the deployment aboard USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) orF?1 June 2000. With a well-known, proud tradition, the SUNLINERS supported Operations DELIBERATE FORCE in the Adriatic and SOUTHERN WATCH in the Persian Gulf. Following the darkest hours and tragedies of 11 September 2001, VFA-81 sprang into action to answer the call of duty. The squadron departed the 2001 MAPLE FLAG exercise in Canada to quickly deploy aboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) for Operation NOBLE EAGLE. In the days immediately following September 11, the SUNLINERS flew combat air patrols over the eastern seaboard to defend the United States against the imminent threat of terrorism. Just a few months later, the SUNLINERS deployed again aboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. An outstanding sortie completion rate over the skies in Iraq earned the SUNLINERS the Golden Wrench for the 2002 CY. In addition, the squadron brought home the Airwing Top Hook Award for outstanding carrier landing performance. In the beginning of 2003, the SUNLINERS certified the flight deck of the Navy's newest carrier, the USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76). A few months later, the work-up cycle began on 07 June 2004 the squadron deployed aboard the USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 76). While flying in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, the SUNLINERS won their fourth Battle “E”, the McClusky Award, as well as the Estocin Award. Presently, the SUNLINERS are ashore stationed at NAS Oceana. Commander Michael E. Boyle is the 44th Commanding Officer of VFA-81. The command consists of 25 officers and 241 enlisted personnel.

By June 1945, the first group of modified Carrier Airborne Early Warning (AEW) TBM-3 Avengers was conducting trials with USS RANGER. Unfortunately the war ended before the AEW units could see action. Following World War II, Fleet Aviation Electronics Training Units (FAETUs) were established on both coasts and continued to train pilots, operators and maintenance personnel on AEW equipment. In 1948 VAW-1 on the West Coast and VAW-2 at NAS Norfolk, were formed to replace the FAETUs. Within a year VAW-2 was redesignated VC-12 and relocated to Quonset Point, Rl,where the TBM-3W was replaced with the AD-3W SKYRAIDER. During the Korean War, VC-12 detachments deployed aboard carriers for combat operations. VC-12 operated an improved version to the SKYRAIDER, the AD-5W, until 1960 when the new WF TRACER “WILLY FUDD”, later designated as the E-IB, was acquired. VC-12 was redesignated VAW-12 in 1960 and in 1962 moved from Quonset Point back to NAS Norfolk, VA. In 1966 the East Coast’s first E-2A arrived, and in 1967, the Chief of Naval Operations, directed the formation of separate squadrons and a functional AIRWING. On April 1,1967, Carrier Airborne Early Warning WING TWELVE, including VAW-121 (previously VAW-12, Det. 1) was established. VAW-121 was commissioned as the GRIFFINS with the tactical call sign “PALMETTOS.” The new E-2As were flown by all squadrons, except VAW-121, who had operated aboard USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (CVA 42), as the sole remaining fleet E-IB squadron from 1973 to 1975. In 1975, VAW-121 transitioned to the E-2C, the latest model HAWKEYE. During a compressed Interim Deployment Readiness Cycle (IDRC), the BLUETAILS aggresively managed money, aircraft and aircrew commitments and ensured flawless execution in every endeavor. After a successful deployment in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, the BLUETAILS transited to the new HAWKEYE 200 and continue to maintain their position at the forefront of Airborne Early Warning Command and Control.

HS-7 was later assigned the role of Anti-Submarine Warfare in support of fleet units. HS-7 served on board the USS VALLEY FORGE (CVS 45) while flying the Sikorsky HSS-1 helicopter. The squadron was disestablished on May 31,1966 but later re-established at Naval Air Station Quonset Point, Rl, on December 15, 1969.During the 1970’s the HS-7 SHAMROCKS “Shamrocks” being the squadron's original name-deployed to a variety of locations, including the coast of Vietnam and the Mediterranean Sea. In 1973 HS-7 joinedCarrler Air Wing THREE, changed homeports to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, FL, and transitioned to the venera- ble SH-3H SEA KING helicopter. From 1981 to 1993, the Shamrocks deployed numeroust- imes on board the USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67), to include deployments in support of OperationsDESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM. In December 1993 the Shamrocks and Carrier Air Wing THREE shifted to the USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69). In 1994 the Shamrocks became the first HS squadron on the East Coast to be assigned female Sailors and Officers. In September 1994 HS-7tasked to support “IKE” and the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division off the coast of Haiti during Operation UPHOLD DEMOCRACY. Later that same year HS-7 supported the IKE CVW 3 team in the Adriatic Sea during Op- erations DENY FLIGHT and PROVIDE PROMISE. After returning from deployment in 1995, the Shamrocks retired the Navy’s last carrier-based SH-3H helicopters and transitioned to the Sikorsky SH-60F and HH-60H. The squadron completed its first deployment fly- ingthese new aircraft from the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN 71) in May 1997. LCDR James Yslas LT Carvin Brown HS-7 returned to Jacksonville in May 1999 after participating in Operations DESERT FOX and DELIBERATE FOROE while embarked in the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65). The squadron completed the maiden deployment of the USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN 75), returning home in June 2001. From December 2002 until April 2005, HS-7 deployed twice more with the Truman. During the first deployment it served in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas in support of Operations NORTHERN WATCH and IRAQI FREEDOM. After changing the squadron name to reflect its long standing call sign, the newly designated tfDU5TY DOGS” returned to the Truman in late 2004. While deployed to the Arabian Gulf the Dusty Dogs detached aircraft and personnel to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait; between November 2005 and February 2005 HS-7 flew Naval Special Warfare support and Air Reconnaissance missions over southern Iraq to protect coalition forces, Iraqi civilians, and critical infrastructure. After returning to NAS Jacksonville in April 2005, HS-7 detached numerous times to support pilot Carrier Qualification operations. At the same time the squadron kept readiness at peak levelsin support of an eight-month Sustainment period. In August 2005 the Dusty Dogs were directed to provide relief to the citizens of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Dusty Dogs rescued over 200 people from the flooded areas of New Orleans and evacuated 300 more to medical facilities or areas clear of the devastation. In April 2006 the squadron briefly joined Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN and the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON(CVN 73) for the Partnership of the Americas deployment, during which HS-7 participated in combined military exercises to improve maritime security and foster relations with nations in the Caribbean and South America. HS-7 proudly answers to the call sign “DUSTY DOG” and provides the Navy with the fleet's finest Sea Combat and Strike Warfare capabilities.

Since the squadron’s inception, the Checkmates have operated form the decks of legendary carriers: Essex, Intrepid, Randolph, Wasp, Oriskany, Lake Champlain, Saratoga, Independence, Kitty Hawk, Enterprise, America, John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and George Washington. From 1960 until 1974, VS-22 flew the venerable Grumman S-2 “Tracker” best known as the “Stoof”. Transitioning to the S-3A, the squadron continued to operate throughout the world. The squadron now flies the sophisticated S-3B “Viking” aircraft built by Lockheed. The Checkmates have routinely been at the forefront of naval aviation operations and setting VS community standards. The highlight of 1961 was the recovery of America’s first astronaut, Alan B. Shepard, after his pioneering space flight on May 5 of that year. In August 1965, VS-22 embarked in USS Lake Champlain for another space capsule recovery, this time Gemini 5 with astronauts Gordon Cooper and “Pete” Conrad. Returning to USS Essex, VS-22 participated in the recovery of Apollo 7 with astronauts Shirra, Eisele, and Cunningham. In 1970, VS-22 ASW operations provided more data and tactical experience in hunting nuclear submarines than had ever been done before. Q On April 1, 1973, VS-22 joined Air Antisubmarine Wing ONE, the precursor of Sea Control Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. On November 8,1973, with the subsequent closure of NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island, VS-22 transferred to NAS Cecil Field, Florida. Jet transitions started in the summer of 1974 with pilots training in T-2s and A-4s at NAS Meridian, Mississippi, making VS-22 the first east coast based S-3 squadron. On January 6, 1976, after 22 years of flying the S-2 Tracker, VS-22 sailed from NAS Mayport, Florida to the Mediterranean Sea onboard USS Saratoga as the first deployed S-3a Viking squadron. In August 1990, due to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the JFK with a no-notice deployment to the Red Sea. Checkmate aircrews flew the first ever Commander, Battle Force Red Sea, Iraqi border surveillance and signals collection flights. Operation Desert Storm commenced the liberation of Kuwait on January 17,1991. Checkmate aircrews flew over 1100 combat hours and 324 combat sorties in direct support of coalition forces. Target information gleaned by VS-22 aircraft played a major role in the suppression of enemy air defenses during the first days of Desert Storm. From January 22,1991 until the cease- fire on February 28, 1991, the Checkmates flew in every CVW-3 strike against Iraq. VS-22 tactical inno- vation did not end with the war. Support of CJTF-4 Counter Narcotics Operations during the last part of 1991 through the first part of 1992 earned the Checkmates the Joint Meritorious Unit Award for lo- cating over 1500 contacts, confirming 50 as suspected offenders. After a long pre-deployment work- up schedule, VS-22 deployed on MED 1-93 embarked in USS John F. Kennedy in October 1992. Concen- trating on multi-national Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea exercises during the first half of deployment, VS-22 provided Initial in-flight refueling training for Egyptian Mirage 2000 pilots and practiced ASUW skills while leading over 40 multi-national, inte ated and air wing exercise strikes against NATO ships. Operations Provide Comfort and Provide Promise brought a shift in VS-22’s role as, once again, the S-3B Viking’s electronic support systems became the Battle Group Commander's eyes and ears in yet another potentially hostile environment. While conducting afr wing proficiency operations during Pro- vide Promise, the Checkmates provided invaluable radar locating and Command and Control informa- tion while the U..S.. Air Force assets dropped relief supplies throughout a dense electronic warfare environment. Additionally, VS-22 contributed to the U.,S« Navy’s evolving focus on “From the Sea...” with near-land ESM, ISAR, and CCC missions. In February of 1994, VS-22 joined CVW-3 and the crew of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was at this time that Congress passed laws permitting the embarkation of women in combat units. VS-22 hn the distinction of being the first S-3B command to be assigned female sailors. On April 16, 1995 VS-22 returned from their Mediterranean deployment onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. On November 26,1996, the Checkmates deployed with CVW-3 onboard USS Theodore Roosevelt to the Mediterranean North Arabian Gulf. VS-22 participated in Operations South- ern Watch and Decisive Endeavor as well as numerous other joint exercises. On April 21, 1997 in the EasternMediterranean, the Checkmates became the first S-3B squadron to launch the AGM-65F Infrared Maverick missile. VS-22 next deployed onboard USS Enterprise. During JTG 99-1, the Check- mates distinguished themselves in Operation Desert Fox. Over the northern Arabian Gulf an Kuwait, VS-22 excelled as a critical strike support asset, as Naval Air Forces dominated the Iraqi skies from the deck of Enterprise. During Operation Jupiter Stallion, VS-22 became the first S-3B squadron to fire a live AGM-65F Maverick missile against a land target, scoring a direct hit. Operating in the Adriatic, VS-22 participated in Operation Noble Anvil providing critical EW support. In November 2000 VS-22 and CVW-3 embarked on the USS Harry S. Truman’s maiden deployment. On February 16, 2001, CVW-3 par- ticipated in strikes against Iraq as part of Operation Southern Watch.
