Unit History

Before the official establishment of the Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (AB) rating on September 6, 1944, the critical tasks of launching, recovering, fueling, and handling naval aircraft were divided among several ratings. The absence of a dedicated flight deck crew led to inefficiencies and safety concerns, particularly as naval aviation expanded during World War II.
