VF-84 was one of the oldest US Navy squadrons before decommissioning and transferring their name to VF-103. VF-103 was established in May 1952 and began the transition from F-4S Phantoms to the F-14A Tomcat in January 1983. The 'Sluggers' were with the USS Saratoga in CVW-17 for the majority of her time, before switching to the USS Enterprise. VF-103 adopted the "Skull and Crossbones" of VF-84 to continue their tradition. VF-103 had one of their TARPS-birds shot down by an optical SA-2 derivative in Desert Storm with the pilot being rescued and the RIO becoming a POW. This is the "transition" patch created for the transfer of the "Jolly Rogers" name.

This felix patch was "created" when they went through unseasonably cold weather during operations, and has been one tough patch to locate.
