 The AJ @-@ 2P was flown by Photographic Squadron SIXTY ONE ( VJ @-@ 61 ) and Photographic Squadron SIXTY TWO ( VJ @-@ 62 ) , both of which were redesignated as Heavy Photographic Squadrons , VAP @-@ 61 and VAP @-@ 62 , respectively , on 2 July 1956 . VJ @-@ 61 was assigned to the Pacific Fleet and VJ @-@ 62 to the Atlantic Fleet . The squadrons never deployed as complete units , but rather deployed as one to three aircraft detachments . Detachment Queen was formed by VJ @-@ 61 during the Korean War at Naval Station Sangley Point , in the Philippines , to fly reconnaissance missions over the People 's Republic of China and North Korea . The detachment continued its missions after the war until at least June 1954 . Both squadrons frequently provided photographic mapping for agencies outside the Navy like the Army Map Service , the Army Corps of Engineers , the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Agriculture . The AJ @-@ 2s in these squadrons were replaced by Douglas A3D @-@ 2P Skywarriors beginning in 1959 , although the last month that they were reported in squadron service was January 1960 . Surviving AJ @-@ 1 and AJ @-@ 2 aircraft became A @-@ 2As and A @-@ 2Bs , respectively , when the Department of Defense redesignated all U.S. military aircraft in a common series in 1962 .
