The Northrop E-2 Hawkeye is an all-weather airborne early warning aircraft (AEW). The E-2 was
a twin-turboprop developed in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s for the USN. The E-2 is a carrier-
capable aircraft and has received major upgrades in their electronics for the E-2B and E-2C with
the E-2C also receiving improved turbo-prop engines. The E-2 has been in production since the
1960’s making it the longest production run of any carrier based aircraft. The E-2C variant
became operational in 1973.
VAW-123 can its beginning to 1945 with the commissioning of VC-12 known as Composite
Squadron Twelve. In 1956 VC-12 was re-designated VAW-12 and eventually VAW-123
“Screwtops”. VAW-123 is a Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron based out Naval Air Station
Norfolk, Virginia and is an operational fleet squadron equipped with the Northrop E-2C Hawkeye.
The E-2C provides radar, radio and satellite communications for the unit it is assigned to operate
with. While onboard USS Enterprise the unit provided support for special operation forces in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
