Squadron History
1970s
Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ-134) was originally established on 9 June 1969 at Naval Air Station Alameda, California, flying the EKA-3B electronic warfare/tanker and KA-3B tanker Skywarriors. VAQ-134 transitioned to Detachment 134 of VAQ-135 for its 1970-71 WestPac deployment aboard the USS Ranger, and stood down in July 1971, moving to its current homeport, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.
In 1972, the squadron received the EA-6B Prowler and became the U.S. Navy's third operational Prowler squadron.[6]
In September 1977, the squadron received the newer Improved Capability (ICAP I) version of the EA-6B Prowler.[citation needed]

1980s
VAQ-134 moved back to the Pacific deploying aboard the USS Constellation as part of CVW-9 in the Indian Ocean in 1982. This included taking part in exercises with USS Midway and USS Ranger.

Starting from September 1982, VAQ-134 would join Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) for 13 years.[7] On 1 March 1983, the air wing and VAQ-134 deployed for the first cruise of the new Nimitz class carrier USS Carl Vinson around the world which lasted until 29 October.[9] CVW-15 and VAQ-134 later make six more deployments on the Carl Vinson which included taking part in RIMPAC 84' and 86'[7] as well as PACEX 89', the largest fleet exercise since World War II.
Before PACEX 89' the squadron transitioned to ICAP II Prowler in early 1989 which allowed them to fire the AGM-88 HARM missile. Later during PACEX 89'
