This SH-2F arrived at AMARC on 5 April 1993 so was a fairly recent addition to the AMARC inventory when I photographed her in May of that year. She was previously operated by HSL-94 (Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron Light 94) 'Titans' based at NAS Willow Grove, Pensylvania. The Titans relinquished all their SH-2Fs when they upgraded to the SH-2G during the mid-1990s. The squadron assumed the missions of antisubmarine warfare, over-the-horizon targeting, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, naval gunfire spotting, reconnaissance and logistics. Her AMARC Inventory Code is AN8H0026.
