SH-3 Sea King

The first version of this workhorse anti-submarine warfare helicopter was flown more than 38 years ago. The H-3's versatility was emphasized during Operation Desert Shield/ Desert Storm when 36 Sea Kings, flying from carriers, logged more than 5,000 hours conducting combat SAR, special operations, maritime interdiction operations, logistics support and mine hunting. The SH-3H has been replaced in the fleet by SH-60F and HH-60H aircraft. The UH-3Hs are programmed to be replaced by the CH-60 version of the Sikorsky Blackhawk/Seahawk.
