USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea – Each of the seven squadrons embarked aboard aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) as part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1 has a specialty. Each possesses an elite and unique capability that they use to contribute to the strike group and, ultimately, the mission. While in flight, having a complete picture of the surroundings is essential for any pilot to successfully complete their mission. This is where the Screwtops of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 123 come in. They are the eyes and ears of the strike group during flight operations and it’s a job they do well, as they have for more than four decades.
