The E-2C HAWKEYE is a twin engine turboprop aircraft with a five man crew which provides airborne early warning services in all weath- er conditions for the task group. State-of-the-art highly sophisticated radar and communications equipment is used to provide strike and traffic control, area surveillance, search and rescue guidance, naviga- tional assistance and communications relay in areas hundreds of miles from the carrier. As an addition to its radar system, the E-2C carries a passive detection system which automatically detects the presence, di- rection and identity of any threat radar in a high signal density envi- ronment. The HAWKEYE also possesses a good passive electronic counter measures capability The E-2Cs in CVW-15 are flown by the HAWGS of VAW-114, based at Naval Air Station, Miramar, San Diego, California. E-2C HAWKEYE The SH-3H SEA KING is a twin gas turbine-powered helicopter wit a four man crew used for anti-submarine warfare, rescue and assistanc missions, and transfer of cargo and personnel between ships at sea. Tli SEA KING is equipped with a dipping sonar, magnetic anomaly detei tion gear, sonobuoys, and multi-channel relay equipment. When coi ducting ASW operations the SEA KINGS work closely with each oth( as well as surface ships and other aircraft to coordinate the search an prosecute the attack utilizing torpedoes. CVW-15 SEA KINGS are flow by the Black Knights of HS-4, based at Naval Air Station, Nort Island, San Diego, California. SH-3H SEA KING 14

The A-6E INTRUDER is a two-seat twin engine, deep-strike interdiction bomber specifically designed to deliver a devastating bomb load with great accuracy in any weather, day or night. The A-6E is equipped with a sophisticated weapons system which can deliver a wide variety of weapons including the Harpoon air-to- surface cruise missile, laser and TV guided munitions, and mines. Additionally the INTRUDER can carry Sidewinder air-to-air mis- siles for defense against airborne threats. CVW-15 has one squad- ron of A-6Es flown by the Knight Riders of VA-52, based at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Washington. The squadron also flies the KA-6D model of the INTRUDER, which is a tanker version and can carry up to 26,000 pounds of fuel for inflight refueling of other aircraft in the airwing. A-6E INTRUDER The EA-6B PROWLER is a four seat, twin engine, all weather jet aircraft designed exclusively for tactical electronic warfare. The Prowler employs sensitive onboard sensors and powerful jammer pods to locate and jam enemy radars, thus denying him effective use of his weapons systems. This versatile, highly complex aircraft may be used in a variety of roles, such as passive surveillance, battle group defense, and strike group escort, providing radar masking and missile system degradation to protect attack aircraft. The EA-6B Prowler is a vital asset in today ' s sophisticated electronic environment. The Prowlers of Carrier Air Wing FIFTEEN are flown by the GARUDAS of Tactical Electronic Warfare squadron ONE THIRTY FOUR, based at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Washington. EA-6B PROWLER The S-3 A VIKING is a twin engine jet with a crew of four which provides the primary medium to long range anti-submarine de- fense for the carrier battle group. The VIKING carries a wide range of surface and subsurface search equipment including son- obuoys, high-resolution radar, magnetic anomaly detection boom, a turret mounted forward looking infrared (FLIR) scanner, and passive electronic counter measures equipment. The heart of the ASW data processing is the Univac 1832A digital computer which receives inputs from all sensors, stores information for instant recall, and carries out weapon-trajectory calculations based on these sensor inputs. The aircraft also utilizes an inertial naviga- tion system to accurately deliver a variety of weapons including torpedoes, bombs, depth-chargers, mines or rocket pods. The VI- KING ' s outstanding range and loiter capability make it an excel- lent surface surveillance platform. The S-3As in CVW-15 are flown by the Dragonfires of VS-29, based at Naval Air Station, North Island, San Diego, California. S-3A VIKING
