This military organization welcomes all current and past members of United States Navy Squadrons in the lineage of VFA-25 (VT-17,
VA-6B, VA-65, and VA-25) known as "Fist of the Fleet." This is thought to be the oldest continuous-duty Navy Attack Squadron
(in service since 1943) which over the years has flown TBM's, SB2C's, AD Skyraiders, A7 Corsair II's, and F-18 Hornets.
The Fist
of the Fleet Association was incorporated in the State of California in 2004 and received a 501 (c) (19) designation as a non-profit
military organization from the Internal Revenue Service.
