Naval Air Station Oceana — Where Strike Fighters Rule the Sky
There's a roar that shakes the Virginia Beach coastline — the unmistakable thunder of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets launching from Naval Air Station Oceana, the U.S. Navy's premier master jet base on the East Coast. This tee is built for those who know that sound, who've lived under those contrails, or who carry that legacy in their blood.
The History Behind the Insignia
Commissioned in 1943 and named Apollo Soucek Field in honor of the Navy test pilot who broke the global altitude record in 1930, NAS Oceana has been the beating heart of carrier aviation for over 80 years. Home to 14 deployable Strike Fighter squadrons, Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic, and Carrier Air Wings 1, 3, 7, and 8 — this is where the Navy's sharpest edge is forged.
