Notes | |
Since this version of the Seahawk replaces the CH-46 Sea Knight in Navy service, the model has garnered the nickname "Knighthawk," which appears often in Navy documentation and Web searches. It does not appear to be the official name of this model, however; Sikorsky's own Web site refers to the model as the "Seahawk." The Seahawk-"Sierra" is also capable of carrying minesweeping equipment, to augment dedicated minesweepers such as the MH-53E Sea Dragon. When so equipped, the crew increases to 4 and the Minesweeping Perk (Naval, Rating 2) is added. |
