[edit] Summary
Description |
A Grumman F-14A Tomcat fighter of fighter squadron VF-191 Satan's Kittens on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) on 1 January 1988. VF-191 had been established on 15 August 1943 and was disestablished on 1 March 1978. During its career it had mostly been assigned to Carrier Air Wing Nineteen (CVW-19) (CVG-19 before 1963), recognizable by the tail code "NM". CVW-19 was disestablished on 30 June 1977. On 1 December 1986 VF-191 was established again. It was assigned to Carrier Air Wing Ten (CVW-10), which had been established on 1 November 1986. The "NM" tail code of the old CVW-19 was given to CVW-10, although there had been a CVW-10 from 1952 to 1969 which had had the tail code "AK". The new CVW-10 should have been assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62). However, it was never deployed and CVW-10 was disestablished again on 30 September 1988, VF-191 had already been deactivated on 30 April 1988.
