Improving the article

[edit]

Extensive Wikification is needed. Do the Significant events, Homeport assignments, and Aircraft assignments sections. Lou Sander (talk) 03:20, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Squadron

[edit]

The Article was not on VP-6. It is about VP-5 starting :

Jun 1958: The squadron deployed to Argentia, Newfoundland. “Ice reccos” and shipping patrols were flown without incident. “Ice reccos” were patrols over shipping lanes on the lookout for icebergs that might endanger surface vessels in the area. In July, half of the squadron deployed to Rota, Spain, to become the first patrol squadron based there. Apr 1959: VP-5 deployed to Keflavik, Iceland. Two other squadrons were stationed there during this period, participating in exercises with the fleet. A Soviet submarine was tracked for 24 hours at one point in the exercise, but finally surfaced and proceeded on its way after failing to shake the trackers.

It then continues with VP-5 history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.136.203 (talk) 07:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
