VS-36

VS-36, known as the "Gray Wolves," was a U.S. Navy anti-submarine squadron established in 1952. The squadron was originally designated as VS-892, a reserve unit activated for the Korean War, before being redesignated as VS-36 in 1953. Operating primarily from aircraft carriers, VS-36 flew various aircraft including the S-2 Tracker, conducting anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean during the Cold War. The unit was deactivated in 1973 as part of a broader Navy reorganization and the phasing out of the S-2 Tracker from active service.
