Official VAW-123 Screwtops Millennium Falcon Patch — She May Not Look Like Much, But She’s Got It Where It Counts
Four engines. A massive radar dome. And all the smuggler swagger of the Kessel Run.
VAW-123 “Screwtops” is a Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron flying the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye — the Navy’s airborne early warning and battle management platform that provides 360-degree radar coverage and controls the airspace for the entire carrier strike group. The Hawkeye’s distinctive radar rotodome and four-engine turboprop silhouette have earned it more than a few Star Wars comparisons, and this Millennium Falcon morale patch leans all the way in. Just like the Falcon, the E-2D might not look like a sleek fighter, but it’s the platform that makes everything else work — directing fighters to their targets, tracking threats over the horizon, and managing the air picture that keeps the strike group alive. VAW-123 is based at NS Norfolk and has deployed with CVW-3 aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and other carriers. This is peak morale gear where naval aviation meets a galaxy far, far away.
Perfect For: VAW-123 Screwtops aircrew and maintainers, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye community, Star Wars fans in naval aviation, CVW-3 personnel, carrier airborne early warning squadrons, morale patch collectors, and anyone who knows the Hawkeye is the real hero of every carrier air wing.
