Description
Attack Squadron 65 (VA-65), the Fighting Tigers, flew the A-6A Intruder in 1967. After the USS Forrestal fire on 29 July 1967, VA-65 sent a detachment, Det-64, to USS Constellation (CVA-64) to augment VA-196 for the rest of the ship's 1967 combat tour in Vietnam.
The patch shows the VA-65 tiger with a spade marked VA-196, with the scrolls DET 64 VIETNAM 1967 and ATKRON 65.
