Black Lions Super Hornet mistake?

I received my Dragon Super Hornet CAG Black Lions. I like it alot. I noticed on the spine that the squadron's markings were "VF-213". That doesn't seem correct to me. Only Tomcats had the "VF" designation. I thought all Hornet received "VFA" designation. Am I correct? Did Dragon make an error on this Super Hornet? Does anyone else have the same issue?

Try here:

Squadrons

Gives a breakdown of Naval Squadron designations, past and present. I don't know if it'll answer your question but a good source of info. anyway.

Re: Black Lions Super Hornet mistake?

I wrote about it some time back in this forum. That's the reason why I went for the Witty VFA-213 despite the white-colored missiles.
