neutral  David Williams: Sure, it gets a lot of google hits, but it's too general, as it doesn't specify that it is on a ship. The Navy and marines also have bases on land, after all

The introduction of the new Type 122 Bremen-class Frigates, brought with it the need for the purchase of appropriate shipborne helicopters (Bordhubschrauber = BHS). Two of which were supposed to be operated from the ships.

It was designed for shipboard operations, as the five main rotor blades as well as tail section with its five blades can be folded for easy stowage. Because of its amphibious hull, the Sea King has the ability to land on water.
