The standoff anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability that BARBEY enjoyed during our almost eight month cruise was provided by the Kamikaze Kids of HSL-33 Det 9. Assigned es- pecially to BARBEY for this deployment, Air Depart- ment enhanced our strike capabilities by giving us a long range air arm to assist in the search for and destruction of enemy submarines at ranges in excess of thirty miles. The aircraft they use is the SH-2F (LAMPS) helicopter, affectionately nicknamed Helen . It has a maximum flight time of two and one half hours with two external fuel tanks and a crew of three. Each of the external fuel tanks are interchangeable with a Mark 46 ASW torpedo which give Helen a deadly potential to enemy submarines. The LAMPS helo has numerous sensors on board to detect, localize, and classify an unknown submerged contact. One of the primary sensors are sonobuoys, both active, which ping for contacts, and passive, which listen quietly for underwater noises. The Magnetic Anomoly Detector, or MAD Bird , which senses metal underwater, and the aircraft ' s own radar are also primary aids to Helen ' s mission. The small detachment of maintenance men kept their aircraft in high state of readiness at all times, keeping BARBEY, as well, combat ready. The Avia- tion Structural Mechanics (AMS and AMH), Aviation Machinist Mates (ADJ), Aviation Electrician (AE), and the sensor operators and technicians (AW and AX) all did their best to make BARBEY the most capable ocean escort in WestPac. During the course of the deployment, Helen logged over 300 safe landings, both day and night and in all types of weather on. BARBEY S small flight deck, and it was this sense of accomplishment that was the basis for a mutual professional respect between the detachment and the ship ' s company. wflP f J ADJC STEPHENS
