EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Navy's Sikorsky SH-3A Seaking helicopter, specifically model 149904 (MSN 61173), call sign "AW," during its service with Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron HS-9, embarked on the USS Essex (CVS-9) in 1964. Delivered to the Navy as an HSS-2, this aircraft underwent conversion to an SH-3H. The SH-3A, a versatile and iconic flight machine, was primarily used for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and logistical support missions. Its distinctive silhouette and bold red markings make it a striking addition to the USS Essex's flight deck. This aeronautical marvel, with its powerful rotors and robust design, epitomizes the ingenuity and innovation of the United States Navy's aviation capabilities during the mid-1960s.
