Electromagnetic Attack Squadron 137 (VAQ-137) also known as the “Rooks”, is a United States Navy electromagnetic attack squadron based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Washington, flying the Boeing EA-18G Growler. The squadron is attached to Carrier Air Wing 11 (CVW-11), which is currently assigned to USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). Their radio callsign is “Rook” and their tailcode is “NH” of CVW-11.[4]

History
There have been two separate squadrons designated VAQ-137. The Navy’s rules of squadron lineage do not allow a subsequent squadron using the same designation (in this case: VAQ-137) as a previous squadron to lay claim to the history or heritage of the former squadron, but the subsequent squadron may use the former squadron’s insignia and or name in homage to the former.
