Instead, it simulated hostile electronic warfare threats by radar jamming and communications jamming during fleet training exercises. The squadron's aircraft consisted of two EP-3J Orions that had originally been operated for the same purpose by active duty VAQ-33, and one Orion PC-3 variant, operated as a crew training and logistics plane. The squadron's capability took a major hit when a 1998 oxygen fire on the ground removed one of the EP-3Js from service. The second one was retired in 1999 as the squadron was preparing for deactivation. The remaining P-3C was transferred to VP-92 also stationed in Brunswick, Maine.
