My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

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.
