Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk
The MH-60R Seahawk is the Navy's primary anti-submarine and surface warfare helicopter, designed for land or maritime operations from any aviation ship or air-capable vessel. It replaced the SH-60B and SH-60F, reached full operational capability in 2010 and has the highest mission capable rates of any maritime helicopter, the Navy says. Two General Electric T700-GE-401C or -401D engines power it, and a crew of three flies it. Empty weight is 15,170 pounds and maximum gross weight 23,500 pounds. Naval Air Systems Command lists an inventory of 270, and the helicopter is still in production.
