EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1982, showcases a Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King helicopter with the identification number 149711 (msn 61128, base code AB, call sign 613), belonging to the United States Navy's Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron HS-11, as it sits folded on the deck of the USS America. The USS America was an amphibious assault ship that provided a critical role in the United States Navy's fleet during the 1980s. The Sea King helicopter, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was an essential component of the ship's aviation complement. The Sea King, with its distinctive rotor blades and imposing presence, is seen here in a state of readiness, ranged on the deck and folded, awaiting its turn to be stowed in the hangar. The photograph captures the raw power and size of the helicopter, as well as the meticulous organization of the aircraft carrier's deck. The Sea King was a workhorse of the United States Navy, capable of performing a range of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and logistical support. This photograph is a testament to the important role that helicopters play in naval aviation and the critical partnership between the United States Navy and the aviation industry in maintaining a strong and capable fleet. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of aviation and the United States Navy.
