Established in 1965, the Head Hunters were an F-4J squadron before finally converting to the F-14 in 1978. For the next forty years VF-228 Would hop between RAG and various Fleet assignments. They would participate in nearly every armed conflict in that time, until their twilight years.
With their final assignment in 2017 with the announcement of Oseas newest Super Carrier Admiral Anderson, VF-228 Became the sole fighter unit assigned to the 28th Carrier Air Wing. The Headhunters would support the carrier on its ill fated maiden voyage until the final week of the war. During this time, the Carrier ran aground and the order to abandon Ship was issued. Despite protests from the CAG, the 228 had to abandon their Tomcats in the hangar and sat out the final days of the war Ashore with the rest of the Anderson's skeleton crew.
The choice was made after the war to finally sundown the Headhunters along with the eventual termination of all F-14 units within the Osean Maritime Defense Force
