VAH-4

VAH-4 (Heavy Attack Squadron Four) was a United States Navy squadron established on January 1, 1956. The squadron was initially equipped with the A3D Skywarrior, a carrier-based heavy attack aircraft designed for long-range nuclear strike missions during the Cold War. VAH-4 served primarily with the Pacific Fleet, deploying on various aircraft carriers including USS Oriskany and USS Hancock. The unit was disestablished on May 1, 1969, as the Navy phased out the heavy attack mission and transitioned to newer aircraft and strategies.
