Description: Skyhawks launch off CVN-65 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Skyhawk units of CVW-6 (VA-66 and VA-76), along with VMA-225, not normally a part of CVW-6, were deployed aboard to provide additional fire-power as were VA-64 Skyhawks which joined the Enterprise in Nov.
CVW-6 Tail Code was "AF" until late in 1962, when it changed to "AE".
