The "ZAPPERS" of VAQ 130 are the oldest Electronic Warfare Squadron in the United States Navy. VAQ 130 adopted the nickname "ZAPPERS" and the Zapper Dragon insignia when the squadron was originally commissioned as Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron THIRTEEN (VAW 13) flying AD-5Q's in 1959. On 1 October 1968, the command was redesignated VAQ-130 and placed under the operational control of Tactical Electronic Warfare Wing THIRTEEN (VAQW 13). After commissioning the squadron supplied support detachments aboard all Pacific and Atlantic aircraft carriers. These detachments, flying the EAK-3B Skywarrior aircraft, provided sea and shore based forces with electronic counter-measures (ECM) and air to air refueling capabilities.
