Patrol squadron 1

Patrol Squadron 1 (VP-1), known as the "Screaming Eagles," is a United States Navy maritime patrol squadron established in February 1943. Initially formed during World War II, VP-1 played a crucial role in anti-submarine warfare and reconnaissance missions in the Pacific Theater. Over the decades, the squadron has operated various aircraft, including the P-2 Neptune and the P-3 Orion, and today flies the P-8A Poseidon. VP-1 continues to support U.S. Navy operations with surveillance, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine missions from its current home base at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington.
