| abstract | - Attack Squadron 174 (VA-174) also known as the "Hellrazors" was a United States Navy attack squadron based at Naval Air Station Cecil Field, Florida, and were attached to Light Attack Wing One. The unit has evolved several times throughout its history that dates back to 1944. When it was established in March 1944 the unit was designated (VB-81) flying the SB2C Helldiver. The unit was redesignated (VA-134) on 2 August 1948 flying F-4U Corsairs and the Hellrazors received their final designation (VA-174) on 1 July 1966 after becoming the first US Navy squadron to receive the A-7A Corsair II. The squadron was disestablished on 30 June 1988. The nickname "Hellrazors" was conceived by Walt Disney Studios, which also created the squadron's insignia, a caricature of an imaginary bat-like, razor-beaked creature from Hell, embodying the qualities of ferocity, determination, and a razor sharp skill in the use of aircraft and airborne weapons. __TOC__
