The U.S. Navy versions when initially procured were designated WV-1 (PO-1W), WV-2, and WV-3. Naval aircrews used the term "Willie Victor" based on a slang version of the phonetic alphabet and the naval version of the aircraft's pre-1962 designation of WV-1, WV-2 or WV-3. WV-2s served from 1956 to 1965 in two "barrier" forces, one off each coast of the North American continent. These barrier forces consisted of five surface picket stations each manned by radar destroyer escorts and an air wing of WV-2s that patrolled the picket lines at 1,000-4,000 m (3,000-12,000 ft) altitude in six- to 20-hour missions. Their objective was to extend early warning coverage against surprise Soviet bomber and missile attack as an extension of the DEW Line. The Atlantic Barrier (BarLant) consisted of VW-11, VW-13, and VW-15 permanently based at Naval Station Argentia, Newfoundland. BarLant began operations on 1 July 1956, and flew continuous coverage until early 1965.
