' Born of a need first noted during the latter part of World War II, Carrier Air- borne Early Warning Squadron Eleven, was commissioned on July 6, 1948 as VAW-1, and was re-designated VAW-11 eight years later. From this need, the ability to detect early low-level bombing attacks against carriers, such as the Japanese Kamikaze attacks of WW II, VAW-11 has evolved to where it is today one of the Navy ' s largest squadrons. Now flying the WF-2 Tracer, also known as the Willie Fudd, VAW-11 furnishes early electronic protection to the Fleet or Task Group. The Willie Fudd is due to be replaced in the future by the aptly-named W2F Hawkeye, described as a complete airborne combat information center (CIC) . mtMi (TOP): LTjg. G. P. Stewart; LTjg. P. C.
