Heavy Attack Squadron THREE (VAH-3) was commissioned on 15
June 1956, at Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Florida, as an
operational A3D-1 (A-3A) squadron of Heavy Attack Wing ONE.
CDR H. H. MOREHOUSE, USN, was its first Commanding Officer.
The first A-3A “Skywarrior” was received by the Squadron on
8 October 1956, and the Squadron commenced carrier qualifications
aboard the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (CVA-42).

On 9 July 1957, VAH-3 deployed aboard the FDR as a unit of
Carrier Air Group SEVENTEEN (CAG-17). This cruise with the
SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean provided the WING with its
first extensive A-3A operations from a MIDWAY class carrier.
Upon return to Mayport, Florida, on 4 March 1958, the Squadron
was ordered to NAS Sanford, Florida, where it was merged
with the Heavy Attack Training Unit (HATULANT) on 10 June 1958.
VAH-3 thus became the Heavy Attack Replacement Training Squadron
(RAG Squadron) for the Atlantic Fleet, and its new mission
included the “Basic Readiness Qualification” of all replacement
flight crews and maintenance support personnel within HATWING
ONE. VAH-3 offered nine crews and thirty “key” enlisted maintenance
personnel each month.
