Hello guys, i'm doing a fictional skin for my squadrom and i want to make like it's a "real usn squad" but there's two letters on the tail that i don't know what they mean. So i want to know what they represent so i can figure out what letters that i'm going to use in my skin

Here is an exemple of what and talking about, in this case it's the big NK on the tail

USN/USMC tail lettering is based on which fleet they are in and what airwing they are in.

"All Navy squadrons stationed on aircraft carriers in the Atlantic Fleet have a tail code starting with the letter "A." Pacific Fleet squadrons start with the letter "N." The pattern for Marine Corps squadrons is not quite as clear but units on the east coast often start with a letter in the first half of the alphabet while those on the west coast often start with a letter in the second half."
