Santa Claus in the Sea KingThe SH-3 Sea King helicopter was the predecessor of today's SH-60 Sea Hawk as the Navy's standard rotary-wing aircraft for antisubmarine warfare, search and rescue missions, and logistics support. The Sea King was also the sleigh of choice for Santa Claus when delivering presents to good sailors aboard deployed aircraft carriers, as seen here in this photo from the USS Enterprise flight deck taken on Christmas Day, 1966.
