Notes and explanations-specific entries:
* These squadron detachments were not aboard the carrier for the entire
deployment.
** This carrier returned from deploymnant prior to the beginning of combat
operations in Vietnam during 1964.
*** VAQ-135 Detachments 3 and 5 were transferred on 25 August 1973 to
VAQ-130. VAQ-135 Det 3 became VAQ-130 Det 2 and VAQ-135 Det 5 became
VAQ-130 Det 5.
**** VAW-111 Det 6 was transferred in March 1974 to RVAW-110 and
became RVAW-110 Det 6.
° On 20 April 1967 VAW-111 was established and VAW-11 detachments
became part of VAW-111. VAW-11 Det Q became VAW-111 Det 20.
°° This deployment involved an experiment with the composition of the carrier air wing in a multimission role. Several of the squadrons were shore-based in
the Philippines during different periods of this deployment.
°°° VAH-10 was redesignated VAQ-129 on 1 September 1970.
+ On 1 October 1968 VAQ-13 and its detachments were redesignated VAQ130.
Numbered Notes
1. VAW-13’s records for 1966 do not specify the carriers they operated
aboard. However, the records indicate VAW-13 Det 1 (located at Cubi Point, P.I.)
provided detachments in support of fleet strikes from the carriers on Yankee
Station.
2. VAW-13 did not submit a Command History Report for 1967, consequently,
it is not possible to verify all the squadron’s detachments operating aboard carriers on Yankee Station in 1967.
3. VQ-1’s Command History Report for 1967 did not identify the detachments
or carriers they operated from in support of combat operations against Vietnam.
4. VAP-61’s Command History Report for 1968 indicated continued support
of 7th Fleet carriers on Yankee Station. However, the squadron’s report does not
identify the detachments deployed aboard carriers in WESTPAC during 1968.
5. HC-7 was established on 1 September 1967. In 1968 an HC-7 detachment
was formed and given the mission of maintaining year-round combat configured
helicopters aboard carriers and other ships operating on Yankee Station for
combat search and rescue missions. The 1968 Command History Report for HC7 does not identify all the specific ships that detachment 110 operated aboard.
6. VQ-1 detachments continued to support carrier operations in Vietnam.
However, the 1968 Command History Report for VQ-1 does not mention any
detachments that were aboard carriers operating on Yankee Station.
7. VQ-1 and VAP-61 detachments provided support from DaNang Air Base,
Republic of South Vietnam, for Fleet carriers operating on Yankee Station in
1969.
8. On 30 June 1975, all carriers with the designation CVA or CVAN were
changed to CV or CVN to reflect the multimission capability of the carrier.
9. Tail codes for Carrier Air Wings (CVW) from 1964 to 1975 were as follows:
CVW-1
AB
CVW-2

CVW-3

11. Some of the squadrons, such as VAQ, VAW and RVAH, lose their individually assigned tail codes in the late 1960s or early 1970s and are authorized to
use the tail codes of their permanently assigned Carrier Air Wing.
12. Tail codes for Marine Corps squadrons that deployed aboard carriers
were not included in the list.

Notes for VP and Non-Carrier Based Squadron Deployments to Vietnam (1964-1972) and Tail Codes:
1. Date In and Date Out are normally the dates the squadron arrived and departed from the air station or base it operated from during its deployment.
2. Squadron detachment numbers or letters are not listed. There were numerous changes and rotation of patrol squadron aircraft and crews from the squadron’s
main base of operation during its deployment. A squadron’s detachment was usually identified by using the name of the base the detachment was operating from. Some
of the squadrons that deployed to Vietnam did not have or use detachments.
3. In some cases specific dates for the squadron or its detachments were not known or could not be determined from official sources.
4. The following is a list of tail codes for the VP and other non-carrier based squadrons deploying to Vietnam:
