VP-2

Patrol Squadron 2 (VP-2) was a long-range maritime patrol unit of the United States Navy, first established in 1929. Over its history, VP-2 served in various forms and under different designations, participating in critical anti-submarine and reconnaissance missions during World War II and the Cold War. The squadron operated aircraft such as the PBY Catalina, PB4Y-2 Privateer, and later the P2V Neptune, conducting patrols throughout the Pacific theater, including the Aleutian Islands and Western Pacific. VP-2 was ultimately disestablished in 1969, after decades of distinguished service in maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare.
