history
|
||||
The Seabats were established on 2 September
1983 as part of the Reagan-era build-up to a 600-ship Navy (to include as
many as 15 aircraft carrier battle groups (CVBG's). With the end of the Cold
War and subsequent draw down of the Services, the Coral Sea/CVW-13 team was
one of the first units to be decommissioned. VAW-127 followed shortly
thereafter on 30 September 1991. In between, the Seabats participated in
several noteworthy events to include Operation Eldorado Canyon, the strike
conducted against Libya and operations in the Gulf of Sidra. source: wikipedia |
