Davfoe Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Hey all, I need some help with squadrons stationed aboard the USS Constellation from 1969 to 1970. the only one I know of off hand is VF-96 Fighting Falcons, but I need info on the Attack squadrons and the other, if any, Fighter squadron and what they used. Thanks, Dave Edited March 18, 2009 by Davfoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The information I have (special magazine from Airforces Monthly about carriers), says that VF-96 wasn't on the Constellation in that period, but on the America from 04-10-1970 to 12-20-1970. On the Constellation cruise from 8-11-'69 to 05-08-'70 were the following squadrons: VF-142 F-4J VF-143 F-4J VA-27 A-7A VA-85 A-6A&A-6B VA-97 A-7A RVAH-7 RA-5C VAW-113 E-2A VAQ-133 EKA-3B&KA-3B HC-1Det5 SH-3A HC-7Det110 SH-3A (not entire cruise) Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This site: http://navysite.de/carriers.htm lists the various US carriers and from there you can find their deployments with which squadrons. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
