To the right and left are two Grumman S-2A Trackers of anti-submarine squadrons VS-28 Hukkers, and VS-31 Topcats. Behind the Sea King flies a Douglas EA-1E Skyraider of airborne early warning squadron VAW-33 Det.18 Night Hawks. CVSG-52 was assigned to the U.S. anti-submarine aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CVS-18).
