The MH-60S is very recent, within the last year or two. It's basically a
hybrid of the Seahawk and the Blackhawk, intended for VERTREP and other
roles, eventally including mine countermeasures and combat SAR. I'm not
sure whether the name "Knighthawk" is official, but it's fairly common, from
the Navy's plan to use it to replace the UH-46 and HH-46 Sea Knight (but not
the Marine CH-46s) as well as the HH-60H.
