Air Dept was a single aircraft SH-2F detachment consisting of 4 officers, 12 enlisted, and Magus 52. Magus 52 flew a total of 680 hours while Air Dept was embarked, includ- ing over 570 hours in direct support of Desert Storm. Magus 52, through the hard work and diligence of the maintenance team and flight deck crew, had the distinction of flying more hours than any other heli- copter in Battle Group Bravo. Air Department and Magus added an important capability to STEIN, by extending the ship's sensor range and tactical employ- ment across a wide spec- trum of taskings. Surface ship surveillance, contact reporting, submarine detec- tion and localization, as well as mail, material, and per- sonnel delivery are some of the things at which Magus 52 excelled.
