This extensive decal sheet from AOA Decals provides the option for up to 16 schemes covering four squadrons.  Two of which, VA-165 and VA-196, were tied for the most A-6 Intruder Vietnam combat cruises (5 each).  Another is the last of the four USMC A-6 squadrons in Vietnam, VMA-AW-224 (the other three USMC squadrons were covered in the first AOAdecals release INTRUDERS FROM THE BEACH, sheet 32-001).  And lastly, the final squadron covered is VA-95, which supported the naval mine clearing Operation End Sweep along the North Vietnamese coast under the Paris Peace Accords.
