USS Constellation - CV64 -West Pac 1981-82

USS Constellation (CV-64), a Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the "new constellation of stars" on the flag of the United States. One of the fastest ships in the Navy, as proven by her victory during a battlegroup race held in 1985, she was nicknamed "Connie" by her crew and officially as "America's Flagship".

In May 1979, the squadron transitioned to the E-2C and again became part of CVW-9 in February 1981. As part of CVW-9, VAW-112 made three Western Pacific/Indian Ocean deployments on board USS CONSTELLATION, CV 64, USS RANGER, CV 61 and USS KITTY HAWK, CV 63. During this period, VAW-112 was awarded the Battle Efficiency (Battle “E”) award for 1979 and 1985. During 1989, VAW-112 deployed aboard USS NIMITZ for NORPAC 89, and in August 1989, they became the first West Coast squadron to transition to the E-2C Plus aircraft.
