Summary[edit]
DescriptionSH-3A HS-2 USS Mahan 1967.jpg | A camouflaged U.S. Navy Sikorsky SH-3A Sea King helicopter on the fantail of the guided missile destroyer USS Mahan (DLG-11) in May 1967. The U.S. Navy stripped several SH-3As of their ASW-equipment and used them for armed search-and-rescue missions in the Gulf of Tonkin and North Vietnam. This helicopter was assigned to helicopter anti-submarine squadron HS-2 Golden Falcons as part of Carrier Anti-Submarine Air Group 57 (CVSG-57) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CVS-12). However, the SAR-helicopters were often based on guided missile destroyers (then called "frigates"), which had small landing pads with less than one meter clearance to the superstructure. This SH-3A, BuNo 148985 (tail code NV-70), was lost at sea two weeks after this photograph was taken on 23 May 1967, with the loss of the crew of four. |
