Established in 1922 as Fighting Squadron Three the Fighting Seawolves of VF-20 have led an exciting and tumultuous life as a squadron even before the 1990s. from their stint in the F4U-6 Super Corsair during the Second Osean War to their use of the F-4 Phantom in support of the Aurelian Air Force during the early parts of the 1967-1973 South Osean War. In 1971 they became the fifth squadron (excluding new establishments like VF-77 and VF-130) to transition to the brand new F-14A Tomcat and brought it into combat during their final cruise of the war. In early 1976 they were once again upgraded, this time to the F-14A+. The squadron made the first kills for the new variant on their 1980-1981 WESTPAC cruise, engaging and destroying two MiG-23 "Floggers" and an Su-24 "Fencer" of the Estovak Air Force during a few skirmishes. This aircraft, BLACKFISH 205 (BuNo. 163051), was responsible for the Sukhoi kill with LCDR Ethan "Thorn" Rose up front and LTJG Luke "Chip" Walsh in the back seat

The Sea Control Fighter Squadron (VFS) was a short-lived experiment by Osea's Department of the Navy intended to supplement carrier air wings by replacing their S-3s with the more versatile F-14A+, leveraging its use of the AGM-84 Harpoon, long range, and high speed. Although effective for ASuW, the major achilles' heel of the "SF-14" as crews called it was the lack of any substantial antisubmarine warfare capability. The three VFS squadrons (VFS-5, VFS-9, and VFS-36) were established in 1979 and transitioned to the S-3 by 1984. VFS-5, nicknamed the "Kingfishers," was the most successful, sinking multiple enemy warships including a light cruiser during the 1982 Kijera Strait Crisis
