After the export success of the H-101 "War Lion", Sikorsky set out to design a naval version of their helicopter. The first flight of the SH-77 Sealion took off from the Gerald R. Ford supercarrier, and it was a complete success. A unit was created to exclusively fly the Sealion, which would come to be known as "The Waveturners" (their logo was a Sealion hovering over the ocean). They would go on to take part in many conflicts, mostly as search-and-rescue, but occaissionallh to hunt down submarines. The Sealion was finally retired from active service in 2085.

    No, but it's easy to add one. Just put it inside the fuselage @Flyboy360

    It doesn't work. It won't takeoff. Uncontrollable. Looks nice though!
