Official VAW-123 Screwtops Last Ride of the E-2C Shoulder Patch — Farewell to the Charlie Hawkeye
The Screwtops flew the last ride of the E-2C Hawkeye — closing a chapter before transitioning to the E-2D.
Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 123 (VAW-123), the Screwtops, flew the final operational flights of the E-2C Hawkeye before transitioning to the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. This shoulder patch commemorates that historic milestone. The E-2C served the Navy for decades as the backbone of carrier airborne early warning, and VAW-123's last ride marked the end of an era for the platform. Deployed with Carrier Air Wing 3 from NAS Norfolk, the Screwtops' farewell to the Charlie model opened the door to the significantly more capable E-2D.
Perfect For: VAW-123 Screwtops E-2C veterans, E-2C Hawkeye farewell commemorators, CVW-3 members, and Navy aircraft transition milestone patch collectors.
Last Ride of the E-2C — farewell to the Charlie Hawkeye.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
