PATRON-6

Patrol Squadron SIX (VP-6), commonly referred to as PATRON-6, was a United States Navy maritime patrol squadron established in July 1943 during World War II. Initially flying the PBY Catalina and later the PB4Y-2 Privateer, the squadron conducted anti-submarine warfare, maritime patrol, and reconnaissance missions in the Pacific Theater. After the war, VP-6 transitioned to the P2V Neptune and participated in the Korean War, where it conducted surveillance and reconnaissance operations. The squadron continued its service through the Cold War, eventually flying the P-3 Orion before being disestablished in 1993.
