VS-25

VS-25, known as "The Golden Eagles," was a U.S. Navy anti-submarine squadron established in 1949. Initially flying the Grumman AF Guardian, the squadron later transitioned to the S-2 Tracker aircraft. VS-25 operated primarily from aircraft carriers, providing vital anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities during the Cold War, including deployments during the Vietnam War. The squadron was ultimately disestablished in 1968, marking nearly two decades of service in maritime patrol and ASW operations.
