Salvage Sailor Posted August 28, 2020 Share #130 Posted August 28, 2020 Probably an error, the INVADERS were always known as HSL-32 History of HSL-32 Invaders Helicopter Antisubmarine Light Squadron 32 (HSL-32) was established at NAS Norfolk, Virginia, on 17 August 1973, formed from a nucleus of personnel from HSL-30. The Invaders initially were equipped with four SH-2D and four SH-2F Seasprite LAMPS I (Light Airborne Multipurpose System I) helicopters. HSL-32 disestablished in 1994.
