Sea Hawk?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody have one or would like to make one for me. I am doing some missions based on SEAL missions and using the black hawk just doesn't seem like a great idea. I am looking for about 10 missions and the Sea Hawk would be featured in most of them if not all. I hope somebody can help me out.

From my understanding, its pretty common for the Navy to do Extractions to offshore carriers similiar to what the Embassy story was all about. anyone remember the Embassy/refuge extraction in Vietnam? They had so many hueys on the flight deck that they had to start pushing them off into the ocean. My uncle remembers it vividly

The variant that handles SF and CSAR for the USN is the HH60 Seahawk- I can get some photo's- differences from standard Seahawk are addition of FLIR, and fuel tanks, winch, .50 Cal etc.

The main differences between SH60 Seahawk and CH60/UH60 BHawk are the rear landing gear- you'll notice on the seahawk landing gear is near where tail meets cabin, while on Bhawk and CH60 the tail gear is near rotor- other than folding tail and blades, not much difference externally- except sensors. 160 SOAR have been based on carriers before with there Mh60K and L models. SEAL's don't exclusively use the USN HH60, but if it's the only bird on hand they'll use it.

The HH60 will be replaced by a CSAR CH60 or MH60 Seahawk Variant i.e

BHawk, Seahawk combo.

Photos of HH60 Seahawk, hope these help some
