From the manufacturer:

The North American A3J Vigilante first flew on August 31, 1958 and was in service until November 1979. Originally designed as a Mach 2 all-weather bomber, the aircraft eventually had a new role of high-speed reconnaissance. In 1962 the Vigilante received new designators: the original A3J-1 became the A-5A; the A3J-2 became the A-5B; and the reconnaissance version A3J-3P became the RA-5C, and first flew on June 30, 196. The Vigilante was the largest and fastest aircraft to operate from an aircraft carrier. It was used heavily in the Vietnam War.
