Summary

Description Three Sikorsky SH-3A Sea King from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 6 (HS-6) "Indians", flying over the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge (CVS-33). HS-6 was assigned to Carrier Anti-submarine Air Group 53 (CVSG-53) aboard Kearsarge . The picture was taken after the 1962 FRAM-modernisation, but the carrier still carries the SPS-8A radar. Also, the Sea King s are not yet painted in the grey/white scheme, therefore the date is therefore probably 1962–1964.
Date circa 1962-1964
