Carrier Air Wing Fifteen (CVW-15) is a former United States Navy aircraft carrier air wing that was decommissioned on March 31, 1995. It was previously known as Carrier Air Group Fifteen (CVG-15) before 1963 before being renamed in December of that year.

Carrier Air Group 15 was established on April 5, 1951, and was deployed to the Korean War in September of that year on board the USS Antietam. The squadron was made up of reserve squadrons during the two cruises during the Korean War. Starting in 1960, CVG-15 would begin a two decade long attachment with the USS Coral Sea that would continue when in 1963,[citation needed] all CVGs were re-designated as Carrier Air Wings.[1] With this, CVG-15 became Carrier Air Wing 15. CVW-15 however did deploy with the USS Constellation only once in 1966 during the Vietnam War. During the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, CVW-15’s aircraft covered the helicopters used to rescue the civilians fleeing the Invasion.
