NOTE: Van Team numbers listed in the "Deployment History" reflect official Naval records; however, events in mid 1958 caused some confusion and apparent accounting errors. A crisis in the Taiwan Straits, and the USS Ticonderoga, CVA-14's unscheduled yard period required early deployments of several Carriers to the 7th Fleet. A partial list of errors reported by team personnel, and from Cruise Books, clearly indicate that Team 58 deployed in USS Lexington, CVA-16 and Team 59 in the USS Midway, CVA-41.
