Summary[edit]

Description
English: A U.S. Navy Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 11 (HS-11) "Sub Seekers" flies near a Soviet Kamov Ka-25 helicopter (NATO-reporting code: "Hormone") from a Soviet Project 1134A Berkut A-class guided missile cruiser ("Kresta II"-class No. "551") over the Norwegian Sea, in September-October 1971. HS-11 was assigned to Carrier Anti-Submarine Air Group 56 (CVSG-56) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid (CVS-11) for a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic from 16 April to 15 October 1971.
The date given "November 1971" has to be incorrect, as Intrepid returned to her homeport of Naval Station Quonset Point, Rhode Island (USA), already on 15 October 1971. She made port calls at Bergen, Norway, 22-25 September, and at Geenock, Scotland (UK), 5-7 October 1971.
