VAW-123 was deployed to Hato in October 2002, with a number of Hawkeyes, still wearing titles from USS Enterprise. With the nickname Screwtops, one can see why the top of the radome is painted the way it is.

On its way to the catapult on board the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in the Persian Gulf. The Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 123 Screwtops Hawkeye is equipped with the eight-bladed propeller system named NP2000 that replaced the old four-bladed design. The modern propeller reduced vibrations in the aircraft and is more easy to maintain as a result of the ability to remove prop blades individually instead of having to remove the entire prop and hub assembly.
