VA-52 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) from 1 April to 23 November 1981 for a deployment to the Western Pacific. Note: The date given (15 January 1984) has to be incorrect, as BuNo 155670 was assigned to VA-52 for the 1981 cruise. In 1984 CVW-15 was also assigned to the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). 155670 was an A-6A modified to an A-6E. After its retirement it was sunk as an artificial reef.
