VW-2

VW-2, also known as Airborne Early Warning Squadron Two, was a United States Navy squadron established in 1952. The unit was tasked with providing airborne early warning and surveillance using modified Lockheed WV-2 (later EC-121) Warning Star aircraft. VW-2 played a crucial role during the Cold War, patrolling the Atlantic Ocean to detect potential Soviet air or missile threats as part of the broader Continental Air Defense Command network. The squadron was disestablished in 1965 as technological advancements led to new methods of airspace monitoring.
