VFA-25 The Fist of the Fleet CVW-14
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE
Home Base:
Planes
F/A -18c Hornet June 1989
VFA-25 deployed on board the INDY with CVW-14 – 1990
In 1990 VFA-25 journeyed to the North Pacific for RIMPAC 90 before deploying for WESTPAC
on 19 June. When Iraq invaded Kuwait on 2 August 1990, VFA-25 responded as a part of CVW-14
onboard the USS INDEPENDENCE (CV-62). Operation Desert Shield held back Iraq's aggression,
while VFA-25 flew combat patrols near the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations for three months before
being relieved on station. For their superb operations, the FISTS were awarded the Battle "E" for the
third time in four years, the Bruce Carrier Maintenance award for the second year in a row,
and the CNO Safety "S" award.
In 1991, the FIST escorted the USS INDEPENDENCE to Hawaii
enroute to her new duty station in Japan and escorted the USS MIDWAY (CV-41) on her final voyage home to San Diego prior to decommissioning.
