This patch was created by VAQ-130, and I think it commemmorates their early years as VAW-13. This is the Det-31 patch for the WestPac '68 tour in Vietnam. VAW-13 and all of its detachments were redesignated as VAQ-130 on 1 October 1968, so this patch is a commemorative of its ancestor. The Det numbers were the carrier hull number, so the Det patch chosen for this commemorative was aboard Bon Homme Richard for her 1968 WestPac cruise.

The 'Zappers' of VAQ-130 were established as VW-13 in September 1959. They were given their current designation in October 1968 and were the first squadron to operate the Grumman EA-6B Prowler.
