VP-28

Patrol Squadron 28 (VP-28), known as the "Hawaiian Warriors," was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron established during World War II. Initially formed in 1943, VP-28 operated primarily in the Pacific Theater, conducting anti-submarine warfare, maritime reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue missions. The squadron played a vital role in post-war patrol operations during the Korean War and Cold War, operating aircraft such as the PBY Catalina, PB4Y-2 Privateer, and later the P-2 Neptune. VP-28 was finally disestablished in 1969, capping a distinguished record of service spanning more than two decades.
