The Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King is an American multi-purpose helicopter, widely used by the United States Navy and many other armed forces, including those of the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Japan, Brazil, India, Norway, and Argentina. This aircraft entered service in 1961, and its primary roles include anti-submarine operations, SAR maritime rescue missions, and VIP transport.
