“ Mediterranean;;151328 is the only Seasprite to have been written off on 07-sep-1982. Accordingly, I would suggest that it was the machine that was operating from USS Estocin (FFG 15).
This extract is taken from the DANFS website:
"While operating on 7 September, Estocin rescued the three crewmembers of her LAMPS SH-2A Seasprite who had ditched two miles from the frigate after a tail rotor casualty during state five seas and 25 knot sustained winds."
It says the detachment came from HSL-36.
Best regards,
Steve Thomas. ”
