Description: CARRIER AIR WING 7, 2" COMMAND COIN Carrier Air Wing Seven was originally established 20 July 1943 as Carrier Air Group Eighteen. After an intensive training period, the air group embarked in combat operations against the Japanese during World War II. In September 1945, the air group transferred to NAS Quonset Point, RI. On 15 November the Navy changed the designation scheme for its Carrier Air Groups and CVG-18 was re-designated CVAG-7. On 1 September 1948 the designation scheme was again changed and the Air Group became Carrier Air Group Seven (CVG-7) (it was the second Air Group to carry the CVG-7 designation; the first CVG-7 existed from January 1944 to July 1946).In 2000 CVW-7 was again deployed with USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. Two years later, the Wing was deployed to the same regions aboard USS John F. Kennedy and aboard USS George Washington, before finally returning to Dwight D. Eisenhower in 2006–2007. Two deployments aboard Dwight D. Eisenhower followed in 2009 and 2010.

Although formally assigned toCVW-17, the squadrons kept their "AG" tail code. Four deployments aboard Dwight D. Eisenhower followed in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013. In 2015, CVW-7 was reassigned to USS Harry S. Truman and began a scheduled deployment to the 6th Fleet and 5th Fleet areas of operation on 16 November.
