Carrier Air Wing Ten (CVW-10) were 2 seperate carrier air wings of the United States Navy that existed during the Cold War. The first CVW-10 was originally know as CVG-10 and was established in 1950[1] before being disestablished in November 1969[2]. The second and much shorter lived one was established in 1986 but due to budgets after one workups cruise[3], it was disestablished in 1988 along with all of its squadrons[4].
History
Early Years (1950 - 1964)
Carrier Air Group 10 was established on May 1 1950 but did not see a deployment until 1952 onboard the USS Lake Champlain[1]. Although CVG-10 didn't take part in the Korean War, it still did see more deployments in years to come, taking part in 9 more deployments before the decade's end, including onboard the U.S. Navy's first super carrier, the USS Forrestal during the Lebanon crisis in 1958 before moving to the smaller Essex in mid 1959[1]. As part of the Navy wide renaming scheme, CVG-10 became Carrier Air Wing 10 on December 20 1963[1]. During that time, the air group was still on deployment on the USS Shangri-La and returned home from the Mediterranean under the new name[5].
Vietnam and end of first CVW-10 (1965 - 1969)
CVW-10 made another deployment on Shangri-La in 1965 as well as minor deployment onboard USS Intrepid (CVS-11) in early 1966 before in April being deployed to the Gulf of Tonkin on board Intrepid again to take part in the Vietnam War[2]. After leaving in November of that year, CVW-10 returned to Vietnam 2 more times in 67' and 68' before returning in February of 69' before being decommissioned on November 29[2].

Second CVW-10 (1986 - 1988)
As part of Reagan's plan to build a 600-Ship Navy, CVW-13 and CVW-10 were reestablished in the 80s, with CVW-10 becoming a west coast CVW on November 1 1986[3] (CVW-13 took the old tail code of CVW-10 which was AK[6]). Originally VFA-195 flying the F/A-18A Hornet was to join CVW-10 as the VFA (Strike Fighter) squadron based of images with VFA-195 with the NM tail code in 1986[7]. VFA-161 and VFA-195 would however switch places at NAS Fallon with photographic evidence showing both squadrons at there.[8] VFA-161 was later removed from CVW-5 and would not return to Japan after transition training was completed on Hornet and would be placed in to inactive status joining CVW-10 while VFA-195 went to NAF Atusgi to join CVW-5[9].
After not deploying with USS Independence as planned in 1986, CVW-10 deployed aboard USS Enterprise CVN-65 from July 24 to August 5 1987 in the East Pacific[4]. After this due to the warming relations between the Soviet Union and the United States as well as budget cuts[3], CVW-10 was decommissioned for the final time on September 30 1988[4]. All of CVW-10's squadrons also were decommissioned including VS-35 which would be reestablished again for the fourth time in the 1990 under a new nickname[4].
