The Raider's call sign was \"Valkyrie\", because the original CO, CDR Mike Charley, liked the helo assault scene from \"Apocalypse Now\". While in Cannes, France, the raiders held a party attended by COM 6th Fleet, Jane Pauley, and other notables. Ms Pauley was then a guest of the USS Coral Sea, due to filming of one day of the \"Today Show\" from the deck of the USS Coral Sea. In the summer of1987, HS-17 won the HS (Atlantic) ASW \"Rodeo\" competition, besting all other non-embarked Atlantic HS squadrons in the annual ASW competition. The 'Neptune's Raiders' of HS-17 were disestablished on 02 July 91.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44281874055402,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/files\/hs17sq.jpg?v=1702177219","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/hs-17-squadron-patch","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
