The SH-3H Sea King served with Helicopter Anti Submarine Squadron 12, HS-12, aboard the USS Midway during the late 1970s and early 1980s. As part of Carrier Air Wing 5, HS-12 used the SH-3H for antisubmarine warfare, plane guard duty, search and rescue, and general fleet support. The H model featured updated sonar, radar, and acoustic processing gear, improving tracking of submarines across the Western Pacific. Operating from the forward deployed Midway homeported in Japan, HS-12 conducted continuous patrols, training flights, and operational missions, providing a critical ASW capability throughout Midway\'s deployments in the region.
Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King Designed to meet a US Navy requirement for an all-weather amphibious helicopter, the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King first flew on March 11, 1959. Originally a submarine hunter-killer, the Sea King has since been used in a variety of operations, from search and rescue, executive transport and communications to anti-ship and airborne early warning. Its five main rotor blades and tail section fold for stowage aboard aircraft carriers, and its hull can remain temporarily watertight for water landings-a risky maneuver attempted only in emergencies. When deployed by aircraft carriers, Sea Kings serve as plane guard and are the first in the air and the last to return.
