Since there were no fleet replacement squadrons at this time, VA-146 started with only a handful of aircraft and began an \"in-house\" training regime in various models of the F9F Cougar. Their first deployment was aboard USSÊHornetÊ(CV-12) in 1957. In September 1957, the squadron transitioned to the FJ-4B Fury, deploying twice aboard USSÊRangerÊ(CVA-61) prior to 1960. The squadron received its first A-7 on 4 June 1968 and deployed aboard USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) on 6 January 1969. Shortly after deployment in September 1969, the squadron upgraded to the A-7E.
