question: Albert O. Vorse Jr. served in early fighter squadrons with legendary figures like Butch O'Hare and this World War II naval aviator that developed what combat flight formation 
answer: Thach Weave
context: Title: John T. Hayward
  Passage: John Tucker "Chick" Hayward (15 November 1908 – 23 May 1999) was a World War II naval aviator.  He helped develop one of the two atomic bombs that was dropped on Japan in the closing days of the war.  Later, he was a pioneer in the development of nuclear propulsion, nuclear weapons, guidance systems for ground- and air-launched rockets, and underwater anti-submarine weapons.  A former batboy for the New York Yankees, Hayward dropped out of high school and lied about his age to enlist in the United States Navy at age 16.  He was subsequently admitted to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, from which he graduated 51st in his class of 1930.  He volunteered for naval aviation.
  Title: John Thach
  Passage: John Smith "Jimmy" Thach (April 19, 1905 – April 15, 1981) was a World War II naval aviator, air combat tactician, and United States Navy admiral.  Thach developed the Thach Weave, a combat flight formation that could counter enemy fighters of superior performance, and later the big blue blanket, an aerial defense against Kamikaze attacks.
  Title: Albert O. Vorse Jr.
  Passage: Albert Ogden "Scoop" Vorse Jr. was an accomplished World War II naval ace who participated in some of the most prominent actions of the Pacific Theater, including the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Guadalcanal Campaign.  Vorse served in early fighter squadrons with legendary figures like Butch O'Hare and Jimmy Thach.  Rising in rank throughout the war, he would act as Executive Officer and Operations Officer in different squadrons before being given command of his own squadron, VF-80, the eponymous "Vorse's Vipers".  Vorse ended the war as commander of Air Group 80 and ultimately achieved Rear Admiral status before his retirement from the U.S. Navy in 1959.
  Title: Service Squadron
  Passage: A Service Squadron (ServRon) was a U.S. Navy squadron that supported fleet combat units.  Service Squadrons were used by the United States Navy from their inception in 1943 to as late as the early 1980s.  At the time of their inception during the Second World War they allowed the US Navy to operate across the vast reaches of the Pacific ocean for extended periods of time.  Service Squadrons created temporary forward bases to allow the naval squadrons to spend less time in transit and more time in the area of combat.  Ulithi, a small volcanic atoll in the central Pacific, is one such example.  Service Squadrons essentially created a major naval base near the area of operation.  With the naval base at Ulithi to refit, repair and resupply, many ships were able to deploy and operate in the western Pacific for a year or more without returning to a major port facility.  Among the vessels operating in service squadrons were tankers, oilers, refrigerator ships, ammunition ships, supply ships, floating docks and repair ships.  They provided diesel, ordnance, aviation fuel, food stuffs and all other supplies.  Equally important at places like Ulithi were the portable piers and floating dry docks which allowed many ships damaged by enemy action or Pacific storms to undergo repair without having to travel the thousands of miles back to a major US naval base.  Ulithi was as far forward from the US naval base at San Francisco as the San Francisco base was from London, England.  To have a fully functional major port in the middle of the Pacific was a significant aid to U.S. Navy operations.
