" End of an Era "
Starting about August of 1973, some of the new Swordsmen reported to NAS Miramar in California to begin training on the F-14A TOMCAT, later in December the Squadron returned from the Mediterranean and was transferred to train at NAS Miramar, retiring the F-4B Phantom II.
In 1974, VF-32 returned to NAS Oceana Virginia with the TOMCATS to do carrier quals aboard the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). During this thirty-two year era, the squadron has received many distinguish awards along with a few intense encounters.
The Swordsmen with the F-14 Tomcats have a proud tradition of service with honor and dedication. November 1, 2005 the Swordsmen will continue to meet the new challenges while transitioning to the F-18 Super Hornet, committed to excellence, and are proud and ready to go where duty calls.
