VS-28

VS-28, known as the "Gamblers," was a United States Navy anti-submarine squadron established in 1943 during World War II. Originally flying the SBD Dauntless and later the TBM Avenger, the squadron conducted anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations in the Atlantic theater. After several periods of deactivation and reactivation, VS-28 transitioned to flying the S-2 Tracker and finally the S-3 Viking, providing carrier-based ASW support throughout the Cold War and into the 1990s. The squadron was ultimately disestablished in March 2004 after decades of distinguished service.
