VP-23 history can be traced back as far as May 1922 and was at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941. VP-23 was very instrumental in weather reconnaissance until about 1950 when her primary mission shifted to anti-submarine warfare (ASW). In 1952 the squadron was split, 7 officers and 109 enlisted remained as VJ-2 a utility weather squadron and VP-23, the ASW arm, and her homeport were moved from NAS Miami to NAS Brunswick, Maine out of hurricane alley to become know as the "Seahawks".
I hope you enjoy.
