VP912

**VP-912** was a U.S. Navy Patrol Squadron established in the post-World War II period as part of the Naval Air Reserve program. Formed in 1946 at NAS Grosse Ile, Michigan, VP-912 initially operated the PBY Catalina and later transitioned to the PB4Y-2 Privateer for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare training. In 1950, during the Korean War mobilization, the squadron was redesignated as VP-731 and called to active duty, reflecting the Navy's policy of integrating reserve units into the regular fleet. The squadron contributed to Cold War maritime surveillance before being fully absorbed and redesignated under the regular Navy’s command structure.
