}}Fighter Squadron 13 or VF-13 was an aviation unit of the United States Navy. Originally established on 2 November 1943, it was disestablished on 20 October 1945. It was the first US Navy squadron to be designated as VF-13.[1]

Operational history

VF-13 equipped with the F6F-5 Hellcat formed part of Carrier Air Group 13 (CVG-13) which was assigned to {{USS|Franklin|CV-13|6}}. In June 1944 the Franklin deployed to Pearl Harbor.[2] On 24 October during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, CVG-13 participated in the sinking of the Japanese battleship Musashi.[3] In early November 1944 following damage to Franklin in a Kamikaze attack, CVG-13 was temporarily landbased on Manus Island before re-embarking on Franklin as it proceeded to Puget Sound for repairs.[4][5] In December 1944 CVG-13 was reforming at Naval Air Station Alameda,[6] and then subsequently underwent training at Naval Air Station Fallon and Naval Air Station Livermore.[7] In early August 1945 CVG-13 was assigned to {{USS|Bunker Hill|CV-17|6}}, but the war in the Pacific ended before they could deploy.[8]
