Strike Fighter Squadron 147 (VFA-147), known as the "Argonauts," is a distinguished United States Navy fighter squadron based at NAS Lemoore, California. Established in 1967, the squadron originally flew the A-7 Corsair II and later transitioned to the F/A-18 Hornet series. Over decades of service, VFA-147 has participated in major conflicts, including the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2019, the Argonauts became the Navy’s first operational squadron to transition to the advanced F-35C Lightning II, continuing their legacy as a premier strike fighter unit.
