AIR DEPARTMENT Our embarked helo, Easyrider 53 and Air De- partment are Detachment Nine of Helicopter Light Anti-submarine Squadron 37. They are home- based at Barbers Point, Hawaii. Easyrider is a SH-2F Seasprite which enhances the ships ca- pability to locate submarines, spot mines, deliver mail, parts and provide over the horizon target- ing support. The helicopter flies with two pilots and a sensor operator aircrewman who is also rescue swimmer qualified. The helo is capable of carrying torpedoes and a f l-60 machine gun for self de- fense. It plays a big role in the Gulf helping us sort out all the shipping while keeping track of the merchant ships we ' re escorting. Although the helo and detachment personnel are not permanently assigned to Ingersoll, we ' re glad they made the trip with us.
