Page "VMFA-323" Paragraph 7

The squadron was re-designated Marine Attack Squadron 323 ( VMA-323 ) in June, 1952.

The Death Rattlers left Korea in July 1953.

Once back home, the squadron began flying the F9F Panther and then the F9F Cougar, a swept-wing version of the Panther.

In 1956 the squadron adopted the FJ-4 Fury, with which it deployed to the western Pacific in 1957.

That year, the Death Rattlers flew armed patrols over the Quemoy and Matsu islands to support Chinese nationalist forces.
