HSL on deployment

Slightly offtopic... but close to what you mentioned, Gordon, in the
small Carrier Strike Groups (insetad of larger CVBGs of 1980s), there
must be even more probable SH-60Bs from "smallboys" are detached to the
carrier.

Some Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates are gone for foreign navies
(e.g. two of them we have in Poland), Spruance-class destroyers without
AEGIS might be regarded too old to protect the carriers, many Arleigh
Burke-class ships have no helo hangar, and CVWs are smaller than in the
good old days. So there is a need for helos, and not much place for
landing, except the Boat...

I guess it must be much more convenient now to detach some LAMPS helos
to the carrier for maintenance and safety reasons?...

Best regards,
