I served on USS FDR (CVA-42), 1960-62, in V-2 Cats. I recall the VF-14 Tophatters were deployed with us then. I remember their logo with a tilted top hat. I think they were home based at NAS Jax, like most of our squadrons.

Heh, I did two weeks on the FDR with my squadron doing exercises down near Rosie Roads I think...boy, she was in tough shape in the mid-seventies.

Good logo-thanks for your service, octex...:)
