Hawkeye E 2 History:
Since entering combat in 1964 during the Vietnam War, the E-2 has served the US Navy around the world, acting as the electronic "eyes of the fleet". The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, aircraft carrier-capable tactical Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft.
In U.S. service, the E-2 Hawkeye provides all-weather airborne early warning and command and control capabilities for all aircraft-carrier battle groups. In addition, its other purposes include sea and land surveillance, the control of the aircraft carrier's fighter planes for air defense, the control of attack planes on offensive missions, the control of search and rescue missions fornaval aviators and sailors lost at sea, and for the relay of radio communications, air-to-air and ship-to-air.
The E-2 also received the nickname "Super Fudd"because it replaced the E-1 Tracer "Willy Fudd". In recent decades, the E-2 has been commonly referred to jokingly, as the "Hummer" because of the distinctive sounds of its turboprop engines, quite unlike that of a turbojet and turbofan jet engines.
