Carrier Air Wing Ten

[4] Carrier Air Group 10 was established on 1 May 1950, but did not see a deployment until 1952 on board the USS Lake Champlain.

[1] Although CVG-10 didn't take part in the Korean War, it still did see more deployments in years to come, taking part in nine more deployments before the decade's end, including on board the U.S. Navy's first super carrier, the USS Forrestal during the Lebanon crisis in 1958 before moving to the smaller Essex in mid-1959.

[2] As part of Ronald Reagan's plan to build a 600-ship Navy, CVW-13 and CVW-10 were reestablished in the 1980s, with CVW-10 becoming a west coast CVW on 1 November 1986[3] (CVW-13 took the old tail code of CVW-10 which was AK[6]).

Originally VFA-195 flying the F/A-18A Hornet was to join CVW-10 as the VFA (Strike Fighter) squadron based on images with VFA-195 with the NM tail code in 1986.

[4] After, this due to the warming relations between the Soviet Union and the United States as well as budget cuts,[3] CVW-10 was decommissioned for the final time on 30 September 1988.
