https://understandingwar.org/research/middle-east/iran-update-january-29-20… With Lincoln and her escorts in the Arabian Gulf, the US Navy leadership must be convinced they can deal with hundreds of drones and missiles being fired at them. It could get ugly and embarrassing, particularly if we are chased out of the Arabian Gulf. But then again, we could have B-2s and B-1s supported by a horde of tankers taking out the leadership and C4 capbilities. I’m surprised that they are not in the North Arabian Sea where there is more sea room and harder to find, albeit, farther from the target. But then again, isn’t that what AF tankers should provide.

UTTAS Prototype

So, a few weeks ago or so I sent the attached photo of an odd looking SH-60B out to a few places, this being one. I reached out to the Sikorsky archives and they sent me back what they had. I included the attachment for reference, but according to the martial Sikorsky provided: “A full-scale mock-up of Sikorsky Aircraft's proposed U.S. Navy LAMPS Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System) helicopter was unveiled May 13 at the opening of the American Helicopter Society's annual three-day forum at the Sheraton Park Hotel in Washington, Following the forum, the mock-up was taken on a tour of three key naval installations It was exhibited at the Naval Air Test Center. Patuxent River, Md. on May 20; at the Norfolk Va. Naval Air Station on May 28 and 29, and will visit the Naval Air Development Center Warminster. Pa on June 5.” Sikorsky said they actually didn’t have a photo of it themselves. I recommend reading the entire article rom 1975 they sent (attached) if you are interested in the beginning of the Navy H-60 program. I also learned today the museum where I volunteer is getting an SH-60B. Brian
