Official VAW-115 Liberty Bells Snapper Intel Shoulder Patch — Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 115 Liberty Bells Snapper Intelligence Section Shoulder Embroidered Patch

Snapper Intel — VAW-115 Liberty Bells’ intelligence section, the analysts who ensure the E-2 Hawkeye crews know exactly what they’re looking at.

This shoulder patch represents the intelligence (Intel) section of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 115 (VAW-115), the “Liberty Bells.” The “Snapper” designation connects to the squadron’s heritage, and the intelligence section is responsible for providing VAW-115’s aircrews with the threat analysis, mission briefs, and tactical intelligence they need to execute their airborne early warning and battle management missions effectively.

Intelligence professionals in E-2 Hawkeye squadrons play a uniquely important role because the Hawkeye’s mission is fundamentally about information dominance. VAW-115’s intel section analyzes threat environments, identifies enemy order of battle, prepares mission briefs that detail surface-to-air threats, enemy fighter capabilities, and electronic warfare considerations, and debriefs crews after every mission. The intel section’s work directly influences how VAW-115’s airborne controllers manage the tactical picture and direct fighter intercepts.

This shoulder patch gives VAW-115’s intelligence professionals their own distinct identity within the squadron, recognizing the critical contribution they make to every Liberty Bells mission.

Perfect For: VAW-115 Liberty Bells intelligence personnel, E-2 Hawkeye community, Navy airborne early warning intel officers, naval aviation intelligence professionals, and Navy specialty section patch collectors.

VAW-115 Snapper Intel — the brains behind the radar — every Liberty Bells mission starts with Snapper Intel.
