The Indians of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Six (HS-6) enjoyed a second successive WestPac deployment with Carrier Air Wing Eleven aboard Enterprise. The squadron, under the command of CDR Miles M. Staley, has an illustrious history of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) excellence exhibited by their winning of the Isbell Trophy after the 1982-83 WestPac cruise. The squadron ' s primary function was to provide Battle Group Foxtrot with close in ASW, protecting the ships through the use of dipping sonar, sonobuoy sensors, and magnetic anomaly detection systems. Filling an important and unique role, the Indians are also the ship ' s primary Search and Rescue vehicle, conducting search and rescue operations in the event of an aircraft accident or a man overboard. A man in the water can rest assured in the knowledge that the Indians are on their way, reflecting their long-standing tradition of pride and professionalism. HS-6 is additionally tasked with providing mail and cargo transfers between other ships in the battle group as well as ship-to-ship personnel transfers and MEDEVAC assistance. The challenges have been many and difficult over the years but the Indians of HS-6 have met and conquered them one at a time, continuing to live up to their motto: NOBODY DOES IT BETTER. 354 I HS-6
