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 painted the vertical tails of one of their jets with this schematic on the 1996 Med Cruise they were on. I saw this firsthand, as I was on that cruise also.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852208177386,"sku":"","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/products\/vf103xmas.jpg?v=1674494607","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vf-103-1996-christmas-cruise-patch","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
