Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. Navy Sikorsky RH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter (BuNo 158755) as members of Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14 (HM-14) prepare it for takeoff at Naval Air Station Rota, Spain, in preparation for "Operation Intense Look". In June 1984, HM-14 took delivery of the AN/AQS-14 Mine Hunting Sonar and established the U.S. Navy’s first operational airborne mine hunting capability. This new asset was put to use in the Red Sea during "Operation Intense Look" while the squadron conducted split-site operations, with the main body of the squadron deploying on USS Shreveport (LPD-12) and Detachment One operating out of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
