From the Cruise Book for USS FDR - 1958-59 Med Cruise.
"The history of Attack Squadron One Seven Two began on 20 August, 1945 with
the commissioning of Bombing Fighting Squadron 82. Since this commissioning,
The "Blue Bolts have flown F6F Hellcats, F4U Corsairs, FH-1 Phantoms, and F2H-1
and -2 Banshees. They have operated out of four home bases and off ten different
carriers. After various other designations, the squadron was designated as Attack
Squadron 172 on 1 November, 1955. This is the sixth tour in the Mediterranean for
the squadron. Other tours include a World Cruise and a Combat Tour in Korea aboard
USS ESSEX. Flying the A4D-2 "Skyhawk", the "Blue Bolts" are capable of effectively
carrying out any attack mission the Navy may assign."
