Officially Licensed US Navy VAW-115 Liberty Bells Sentenil Patch — Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 115 Liberty Bells Sentenil (Sentinel) Design Embroidered Patch
The Sentinel of the Fleet — VAW-115 Liberty Bells' Sentenil patch, capturing the squadron's role as the ever-watchful guardian of the carrier strike group.
Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 115 (VAW-115), the "Liberty Bells," is a U.S. Navy airborne early warning squadron operating the E-2C Hawkeye. This "Sentenil" (Sentinel) design variation highlights VAW-115's role as the carrier strike group's sentinel — the ever-watchful guardian that scans the horizon from high above, detecting threats long before they can reach the fleet.
The sentinel concept perfectly captures the E-2C Hawkeye's mission. With its powerful AN/APS-145 radar rotating atop the aircraft, the Hawkeye can detect, classify, and track hundreds of air and surface contacts simultaneously, providing the carrier strike group with unmatched situational awareness. VAW-115's airborne controllers direct the air battle, vectoring fighters to intercept incoming threats, coordinating strike missions, and serving as the critical communications relay that ties the entire carrier air wing together.
This Sentenil design offers an alternative visual identity for VAW-115 that emphasizes the squadron's guardian role, distinguishing it from the standard Liberty Bells squadron patch while maintaining the connection to the unit's proud heritage and mission.
Perfect For: VAW-115 Liberty Bells members and veterans, E-2C Hawkeye community, Navy airborne early warning enthusiasts, alternative squadron design collectors, and Navy aviation heritage patch collectors.
VAW-115 Liberty Bells — the Sentinel watches, the Sentinel warns — nothing gets past the Liberty Bells.
