VA. 12 With a primary duty of training AEW teams for temporary assignment aboard car- riers for fleet operation, Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron Twelve was commis- sioned Iuly 6, 1948 at NAS, Norfolk, Va. ln August, the Squadron moved to its assigned home port of NAS, Quonset Point, Rhode Island where it continued its extensive training program. The Commanding Officer of VAW-l2 is Captain Leonard E. Ewoldt. The detachments sent to CVS carriers are under the command of the Commanding Officer and become part of a department of the ship. While on board the USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN, the detachment of VAW-12 has the mission of radio and radar relaying. The ADSW Guppie, the aircraft used by the detachment, carries a crew of three, the pilot, a radar scope controller, and another controller who sits directly aft of the pilot. Because of the tiny cockpit in the ADSW, the two controllers alternate to avoid fatigue.

I-ITJ'-2 During flight operations you may have looked out across the sea, and saw an object hovering near the water that looked something like a huge gnat. Animal, vegetable, or mineral . . .? Mineral, in the form of the Champs' personal angel. lt's the I-IUK-l, affectionately known as the single-motor, double-rotor, purple people plucker. With a crew ot two oiiicers and a handful of enlisted men, the HUK proved its worth several times on the cruise. Once it carried 7 passengers and showed nary a sign ot stress or strain. On the side ot the little giant are painted 5 claws, sig- nifying rescues made by this detachment of Helicopter Utility Squadron TWO. It may be small, but just rememloer, that dynamite comes in small packages. 5 73
