|
Die fünfte Staffel HS-5 wurde 1956 aus der Taufe gehoben. Die Sikorsky HO4S-3S bildete auch hier die Erstausrüstung der Staffel. 1957 erhielt die Staffel ihre ersten Sikorsky HSS-1 Seabat. Die Einsätze leistete die HS-5 auf den Trägern CVS-40 USS Tarawa und CVS-39 USS Lake Champlain. Ab 1960 bildete die Staffel einen Teil des CVSG-54 aus der CVS-39 USS Lake Champlain uns CVS-18 USS Wasp. 1963 erfolgte die Umschulung auf die Sikorsky SH-3A Seaking mit der die Staffel weitere Einsätze zu Gunsten der CVSG-54 flog. 1971 wurde die verbesserte SH-3D eingeführt und ab 1973 gehörte die Staffel zu CVW-7 auf der USS Independence. 1977 mit dem Wechsle auf die CVN-69 USS Dwight D Eisenhower wurde die SH-3H Seaking eingeführt. 1996 erfolgte die Umschulung auf die Sikorsky SH-60F Seahawk. Noch immer ist die Staffel der CVW-7 zugeteilt. |
