History

VS-35 was reestablished as a pre-establishment detachment on 10 September 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 24 July 1987, to 5 August 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 1 June 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".
