Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk
The MH-60 Seahawk is the Navy's twin-engine maritime helicopter from Sikorsky. The MH-60R is the Navy's primary anti-submarine and surface warfare helicopter and shares a common cockpit with the MH-60S, which flies anti-surface warfare, combat support, humanitarian relief, combat search and rescue, medical evacuation and special warfare missions. Both work from aviation ships and other air-capable vessels, and they replaced the Navy's older SH-60 and H-46 helicopters. This site lists both with the numbers Naval Air Systems Command publishes, and no flight data.
