Kaman SH-2 Seasprite

Never seen except in Navy paint! Curious cut-back vertical stabilizer, very small horizontal stabilizers, twin engines with side-venting exhaust, retractable gear; many pods, weapons points, and sensors visible.

First upgrade was to twin engines, with subsequent increases in speed, range, armament, carrying power. Various models perform over-horizon fleet protection, submarine hunting, search and rescue.
