This is V.2 of the New Republic Navy's Skull Squadron. The insignia is an improvement over the first version [link] by adding more visual ques.

This insignia is based on the one currently in use by the US Navy's VFA-103 (formerly the VF-84) Jolly Rogers

VFA-103 was originally VF-103 Sluggers, the inherited the markings and moniker from VF-84 when VF-84 was disestablished, just as VF-84 had inherited from VF-61... and the cycle continues all the way back to Tommy Blackburn's VF-17 and the Chance-Vought F4U-1 Corsair.

Could you say that again in Basic please?

Simply put, the name and insignia has been passed from squadron to squadron to keep the tradition alive in the United States Navy as squadrons have been deactivated, starting with VF-17 (Fighter Squadron Seventeen) during the Second World War.

Thanks. I wonder if Macross/Robotech got the idea for Skull Squadron from this. The VF-1S is one of the fighters they use.

P.S.
Love your sig.
