During a year long stay at Moffet Field, from September 1957 to September1958, VF-191 transitioned from the Fury to the Grumman F-11F Tiger. The first four were recorded in squadron in October 1957. By April 1958, they had 14 F-11fs on record and the last of the FJ-3 Furies were gone.
The Tiger was only used for about four years when it was replaced by the better performing F-8U Crusader in 1961. During this short service, VF-191 was deployed twice, both times aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31)
