Here are a couple of photos of Navy carrier aircraft back in the pre-Tactical Paint Scheme days when they were painted gull grey on top and white on bottom and had colorful markings. I miss those days.

Attack Squadron 35 (VA-35) was the "Black Panthers" and had very distinctive tail markings. Here's a VA-35 A-6E parked and another refueling an F-14A of VF-41 "Black Aces". The F-14A appears to have toned-down markings.
