RVAH-7

Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron 7 (RVAH-7), known as the "Peacemakers," was a United States Navy squadron established in December 1955. Originally designated as Heavy Attack Squadron 7 (VAH-7), the unit was redesignated RVAH-7 in 1966 when it transitioned from A-3 Skywarrior bombers to the RA-5C Vigilante, a supersonic reconnaissance aircraft. RVAH-7 played a significant role in aerial reconnaissance during the Vietnam War, conducting high-risk missions over North Vietnam from aircraft carriers. The squadron continued to serve throughout the Cold War until it was disestablished in September 1979 as part of the Navy's phase-out of the RA-5C aircraft.
