U.S. NAVY Grumman A-6F intruder Patch by COMMANDO
The COMMANDO U.S. NAVY Grumman A-6F Intruder Patch recognises an advanced development of one of the U.S. Navy's most important carrier-based attack aircraft. The Grumman A-6 Intruder was designed to deliver accurate attacks against ground and naval targets in all weather conditions, day or night. Its ability to operate in poor visibility made it a valuable aircraft for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviation for more than three decades.
The Intruder first flew in April 1960 and entered U.S. Navy service in 1963. Developed by Grumman, it featured two crew members seated side by side and sophisticated navigation and attack systems that allowed it to locate and engage targets in darkness and adverse weather. Intruders served extensively during the Vietnam War and later took part in operations over Lebanon, Libya and Iraq, including Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
The A-6F was proposed in the 1980s as a substantial modernisation of the Intruder. The planned improvements included General Electric F404 engines, upgraded avionics, a new radar system and enhanced air-to-air capability. Although five development aircraft were built and the prototype first flew in August 1987, the programme was cancelled in 1989 before the A-6F entered operational service. The existing A-6E remained the principal operational attack version until the Intruder was retired from frontline U.S. Navy service in 1997.
This COMMANDO patch commemorates the Grumman Intruder family and the development of the proposed A-6F, making it a distinctive addition to naval aviation and military aircraft collections.
