Commander Sea Control Wing, Atlantic, provides the U.S. Atlantic Fleet commanders with sea control and electronic reconnaissance squadrons fully trained and combat ready, able to execute all assigned tasks in a timely, correct, safe, and decisive manner. The wing is headquartered at Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Fla. and reports directly to Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Sea Control Wing is responsible for the readiness, training, administration, and maintenance support of all Atlantic Fleet VS and VQ squadrons. The wing is supported by an S-3 Tactical Support Center (TSC) and local sea control weapons school.

The command was officially commissioned Air Antisubmarine Wing One on April 1, 1973, at Quonset Point, R.I., and subsequently moved to NAS Cecil Field that fall. In 1998, the Sea Control Wing and it's squadrons migrated to NAS Jacksonville as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.

October 1976 marked the completion of the Atlantic Fleet transition to the S-3A Viking, replacing the propeller-driven S-2 Tracker. In May 1987, the command was redesignated Sea Strike Wing One. Following a reorganization of naval aviation command structures, Sea Strike Wing One was elevated to a major command status on 01 October 1992, and was redesignated Sea Control Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. The Wing officially changed their name in May 1993 and the squadrons changed over in September, marking the end of an era that also had the wing designated as VS Wing One until the late 1980's.

The S-3B Viking is a U.S. Navy carrier-based, long-range, day-night, medium weather, jet aircraft. The Viking's primary mission is to conduct sea control missions in contested littoral waters with a role of locating, targeting, and neutralizing surface threats to the U.S. carrier task group.
