Detachments were located in the Azores, SanJuan, P.R., Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Key West, Fla.Oct 1954: VP-10 deployed to Keflavik, Iceland.During the period of Icelandic patrols, the squadronwas tasked with conversion from the P2V-5 to theSquadron Insignia and NicknameIn an effort to establish a link with the history ofthe previous VP-10 (disestablished as VPB-23 on 25January 1946), the squadron adopted the insigniadevised by the earlier organization upon its formation in 1930. The date on which the official insigniaof the squadron was accepted by CNO is unknown.A compass rose with the Big Dipper and Polaris asA squadron P2V in flight.The squadron’s insignia was developed from a design used by a former VP-10.background encloses the circular design. A homingtorpedo is central (updated from the earlier designof a Mark IV depth charge). Two pairs of lightinglike radio waves are on either side of the torpedo atthe top, the radio being an essential element oflong-range patrols. The background stars are thenavigator’s guide in celestial navigation. The torpedo signifies the squadron’s role in ASW. A bannerat the bottom of the design contains the designation“Patrol Squadron Ten.” Colors of the design: bluefield with white stars; radio waves and torpedo, yellow with tip of torpedo red; banner, blue, with yellow letters.Nickname: Red Lancers, 1968–present.newer P2V-5F, which necessitated sending crews toBurbank, Calif., to pick up the replacement aircraft atthe factory. The transition was completed prior to thereturn of the squadron to NAS Brunswick in January1955.1957: VP-10 deployed to Argentia, Newfoundland.During the deployment the squadron participated inthe annual exercise Operation Springboard atRoosevelt Roads, P.R. Before returning to home basein late 1957, the squadron flew to Thule, Greenland,to collect valuable information on the location andmovement of ice formations in the northeast areas ofCanada and Greenland.Jul 1958: VP-10 was split into two detachments.One detachment deployed to Iceland with six aircraftto plot the ice coverage over the Denmark Straits.During the deployment the detachment visitedNorway, Denmark, Holland, England, Germany andFrench Morocco. The second detachment flew toLebanon and provided support during the LebanonCrisis. Following the end of the crisis, they visitedSpain, Morocco, Italy, Greece, Libya and Malta.Feb 1959: A three-aircraft detachment visitedColombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. A second detachment of three aircraft visited Brazil, Uruguay,Argentina and Dutch Guyana. The flights were intended to bolster the faltering democratic governmentsof South American allies with a demonstration of U.S.military power and the “long reach” of Navy patrolsquadrons.Sep 1960: VP-10 conducted a “Hurrivac,” flying toBattle Creek, Mich., to escape Hurricane Donna. At the

On 27 Jan 1961, theRota detachment received an unusual request from thePortuguese government to assist in the search forSanta Maria, a Portuguese luxury liner, the seized by“pirates.” The detachment operated briefly from theIsle DeSal in the Cape Verde Islands from 27 to 29January 1961, before Portuguese authorities capturedthe ship.7 Nov 1961: A VP-10 P2V-5F Neptune flying onASW patrol crashed into the ocean with the loss of all11 crewmen.10 Oct 1962: VP-10 deployed a four-aircraft detachment to Lajes AFB, Azores, in support of the CubanQuarantine.13 Apr 1963: VP-10 flew SAR flights in an attemptto locate the missing nuclear submarine Thresher (SSN593). After several hours of searching, a squadron aircraft spotted an oil slick at 41 43'N 64 57'W and radioed the position to surface vessels involved in thesearch. Remote submersible cameras located thewreckage, but all hands were lost.30 Jan 1966: VP-10 deployed to Keflavik, Iceland,relieving VP-21. A detachment of the squadron alsodeployed to Argentia, Newfoundland. VP-10 was thefirst patrol squadron on that station with the P-3AOrion. The squadron transitioned to the newer P-3Bupon return from deployment in June.13 Jan 1967: VP-10 deployed to Keflavik with fiveof its new P-3Bs. Four other crews deployed to PuertoRico to take part in the annual Operation Springboardexercises at Roosevelt Roads. Upon completion, threeaircraft deployed to Lajes, Azores, while the fourth rejoined the squadron at Keflavik.15 Mar 1974: The squadron lost P-3B, BuNo.152749, in a crash at sea 41 miles from NASBrunswick, Maine. The crash resulted in the death ofall five crew members and ended the squadron’srecord of 95,232 accident-free flying hours.9 Aug 1978: VP-10 deployed to NAS Bermuda, during which the squadron received a Meritorious UnitCommendation for its achievements in tracking Sovietsubmarines.Jan–Sep 1980: The squadron began receiving theupdated P-3C UII aircraft at the rate of one per month.The squadron’s P-3Bs were transferred to fleet reservesquadrons.2 Jan 1980: A detachment of P-3B Orions of VP-10deployed to Rota, Spain, flew photoreconnaissancemissions to locate areas damaged by an earthquakewhich struck the Azores the day before, killing some50 people and injuring another 500.26 Jul 1981: VP-10 deployed to NAS Keflavik,Iceland. During the deployment the squadron was engaged in operation Ocean Venture against numerousfriendly “targets.” One of the players in the exerciseturned out to be a Soviet Papa-class submarine thathad wandered into the area while trying to conductsurveillance of the NATO surface activities. The successful exposure of the submarine and the squadron’sgeneral performance during the deployment earnedVP-10 a Meritorious Unit Commendation from theSecretary of the Navy.A squadron P-3B in flight over the Arctic, 1967.
CHAPTER 325 Oct–2 Nov 1983: VP-10 provided several aircraftand crews for patrols in the vicinity of Grenada duringOperation Urgent Fury in which U.S. forces deployedto Grenada to protect the lives of Americans on theisland.13 Sep 1989: A VP-10 P-3C Orion deployed onanti-drug patrol in the Puerto Rico operating area spotted a suspicious ship in the offshore waters of theDominican Republic. Authorities were notified and thesuspects were caught on the beach 11 miles from83Santo Domingo attempting to off-load 2,930 pounds ofpure cocaine.1 Jun 1991: VP-10 deployed to Sigonella, Sicily,and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The deployment had originally been planned for the Caribbean, but two factorschanged those plans abruptly at the last moment: thedisestablishment of VP-44 and Operation DesertStorm. In 4,500 accident-free flight hours during deployment, the squadron flew the equivalent of 6.5times around the earth.A squadron P-3C with a Harpoon missile under its wing being escorted by a TA-4J from VC-8, February 1996.Home Port Assignments—ContinuedHome Port AssignmentsLocationNAS Jacksonville, Fla.Date of Assignment10 Mar 1951LocationNAS Brunswick, MaineDate of AssignmentFeb 1952A squadron P-3C firing aHarpoon missile, February1996.
