caption_attribution_description: A U.S. Navy Lockheed S-3A Viking (BuNo 160596) from Anti-Submarine Squadron 35 (VS-35) "Boomerangers" at Naval Air Station North Island, California (USA), on 23 December 1986. VS-35 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 10 (CVW-10), which was established in 1986. It was never deployed on its assigned aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) and was disestablished in 1988.
context_page_description: Sea Control Squadron 35, known as the Boomerangs was reestablished in 1986 as the Anti-Submarine Warfare squadron of CVW-10 which was also created that same year. During its short active service, it flew the Lockheed S-3A Viking before CVW-10 along with it were disestablished in 1988.
context_section_description: VS-35 was reestablished as a pre-establishment detachment on September 10 1986. During this time, VS-35 was soon assigned to CVW-10 and given the tail code "NM". VS-35 was originally supposed to deploy with USS Independence in 1986 but did this not happen. Between July 24 1987 to August 5 1987, VS-35 deployed onboard USS Enterprise along the west coast. After this deployment, it was still planned that CVW-10 would deploy with Independence, but by the time Independence completed her SLEP-life upgrade, VS-35 was decommissioned on June 1 1988. According to a U.S. Navy document, VS-35 was only equipped with 7 S-3A Vikings compared to other VS squadrons which had 9 to 11 aircraft. 
  VS-35 would be reestablished again in 1990 under the new name "Blue Wolves".
