VFA-82 (to be deactivated soon) is now surge-deployed with

Since this was observed just recently, I'd guess 136 has moved from
CVW-7 to CVW-1. Since GW has just gone into the yards for a 10-11
month upgrade, CVW-7 is also in flux.

"VFA-136:

F/A-18C: AB-300, AB-302, AB-305, AB-307, AB-313, 164214/AG-310*"

Only one operational squadron reamins in PACFLT (in CVW-9), and in
LANTFLT CVW-7 is going to lose their S-3Bs first.

As is CVW-17 (VS-30) - look for both VS-31 (CVW-7) & -30 to deactivate
around the same period.

As you stated; it's all in flux!!

As an added note, start looking for a HSL SH-60B outfit to be assigned
to CVWs, as HSL-47 (NH70x) is currently w/ CVW-2; then it'll get real
messy as the SH-60R/S enter and we see the merging of HSLs & HSs in the
strike groups.
