The “Screwtops” of VAW-123 are based out of NAS Norfolk, VA and fly the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye. They were established in April 1967 and participated in Operation Desert Storm onboard the USS America (CV-66) with CVW-1. Their trademark is the screwtop design on the upper surface of the radar dome and this is the large, circular desert version of the top of their radar with the “All-Seeing Eye” in the middle.
