VFA-11
:''This article is about a United States Navy fighter squadron. See ''VF-4 Lightning III'' for the fictional variable fighter from ''Macross Flashback 2012'' and ''VF-11 Thunderbolt'' for the fictional variable fighter from ''Macross Plus'' and ''Macross 7''.
Strike Fighter Squadron 11 (VFA-11), also known as the "Red Rippers", are a United States Navy fighter squadron stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA. Their call sign is ''Ripper,'' tail code is ''AB'', and they fly the F/A-18F Super Hornet.
==Insignia and nickname==
The squadron's original nickname was the ''Rebel's Raiders''; their insignia (used from inception in 1950 to 1959) is unknown. In 1959, the squadron changed designations and adopted the name and insignia of another, recently disestablished, squadron.
The ''Red Ripper'' squadron insignia as described by an early member: "The boar's head is taken from the one that graces the label of the Gordon's Gin bottle. The scroll effect under the head is a string of link sausage, a good line of bologna which all members of the squadron were to be adept at 'shooting.' The balls on the shield might be called balls of fire; actually, they were supposed to typify good, strong masculinity. The bolt of lightning was the bar sinister of bastardy. The whole theme was worked into a sort of toast or creed with which the squadron members were to begin and end all good drinking bouts. The official Ripper toast is, 'Here's to us, the RED RIPPERS – a damn bunch of gin drinking, bologna slinging, two-balled, he-man bastards'." In 2011, while on liberty in Bahrain, high ranking authorities declared the toast inappropriate and offensive; the toast was banned shortly thereafter.
