One of the most coveted awards in Naval Aviation - the Battle "E" has just been awarded to the outsanding team of the Fighting Fourteen "Tophatters"! The Battle Efficiency Award comes as a recognition of the dedication, efforts and hard work of the men and women of VF-14 during a demanding year full of action and events. Congratulations to all whose efforts have contributed so much to the success of a great squadron!
From now on you will be able to see a proud "E" painted on the tails of our Tomcats! GO TOPHATTERS!
