VC-13

VC-13, also known as Composite Squadron 13, was a United States Navy aircraft squadron established during World War II. Formed in 1943, the squadron was primarily tasked with providing air support for fleet operations, including anti-submarine warfare, target towing, and training missions. VC-13 operated a variety of aircraft, such as the FM-2 Wildcat and TBM Avenger, and was assigned to several escort carriers in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The squadron was deactivated following the end of World War II as part of the post-war drawdown of U.S. naval forces.
