VFA 195 Dambusters (U.S. Navy) Color Changing Mug 11oz

VFA 195 Dambusters (U.S. Navy) The VFA 195, also known as the "Dambusters," is a U.S. Navy strike-fighter squadron operating from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75). The squadron flies the F/A-18E Super Hornet, a twin-engine multirole combat aircraft that combines fighter and attack capabilities. Named after the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron, which was famously involved in the World War II mission to destroy dams in Germany's Ruhr Valley, the U.S. Navy's VFA 195 carries forward this legacy of specialized bombing operations. The squadron's primary role involves conducting precision strike missions against enemy targets at sea and on land. Founded in 1974, the VFA 195 has a rich history of service, participating in numerous deployments and conflicts, including Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The squadron's motto, "To Whom Much is Given," reflects its commitment to upholding high standards of professionalism and readiness for any mission.
