The E-2 Hawkeye is the first U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft designed specifically to fill the all-weather airborne early warning mission. The E-2 is a twin-engine aircraft with antennae contained inside a 24-foot rotating dorsal dome. E-2Cs provided surveillance support during joint strike attacks against targets in Libya in 1986, and during Operation Desert Storm, the aircraft provided command and control support for carrier-based fighter aircraft. The Hawkeye provided similar support during the recent conflicts in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
