E-2C Hawkeye: the last mission

E-2C Hawkeye: The history

THE LAST MISSION

The E-2 first flew in October 1960 and since then it has had several changes; E-2C and now E-2D advanced Hawkeye.

The E-2C Hawkeye provides carrier-based Airborne Command and Control to US, Allied, and Coalition units.

The squadron VAW 123 was established in April, 1967, and first flew the E-2C in 1973.

After 51 years, the World Famous SCREWTOPS are due to transition to the E-2D

The SCREWTOPS, along with Carrier Air Wing THREE, Carrier Strike Group TWO, and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) make up one of the most storied teams in Naval History.

While flying the E-2C, the squadron VAW-123 has supported operations around the globe, and from Desert Shield/Desert Storm to Operation Prairie Fire all of the way to the current Operation Prosperity Guardian

“This is a tribute watch for the VAN 123 squadron and the iconic E-2C Hawkeye”

E-2C Hawkeye WATCH PROJECT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

“The project initiative comes from part of the crew and assigned personnel to the E-2C Hawkeye “

Textual words of the project motivation – G.J.  CLT USN, VAW-123:

“We are currently on our final deployment with the E-2C, after more than 5 decades, and aviators are very fond of their watches.

So combining these two things, I figured I’d try and do a tribute watch, of types. Especially with this final deployment being as dynamic as it’s been, with the ongoing Red Sea Crisis, and the parallel Operation Prosperity Guardian.”
