The 'Swamp Foxes' were part of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group.
The"Swamp Foxes" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 74 returned home Saturday afternoon with Carrier Air Wing 3 on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower after deploying in October.
The Swamp Foxes engaged with four small Houthi-employed boats during an attack on Dec 31., striking three of them after they"maliciously" opened fire on the aircrew. Dozens of family members and loved ones gathered at NAS Jax to celebrate the homecoming, including Xiomaris Tosado. She added it was quite an adjustment being a single parent while her husband was away, and now she's excited to grow together with their son.
