VP-22

Patrol Squadron 22 (VP-22), known as the "Blue Geese," was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron established in 1943 during World War II. Initially flying the PB4Y-1 Liberator, the squadron conducted anti-submarine warfare, reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue missions in the Pacific Theater. Over the decades, VP-22 operated various aircraft, including the P2V Neptune and P-3 Orion, and participated in significant Cold War operations, as well as the Vietnam War. The squadron was based at NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii for much of its service before its deactivation in March 1994.
