Officially Licensed US Navy HS-1 Seahorses Sticker — The First Helicopter ASW Squadron
HS-1 didn't just fly the mission — they invented it. The Seahorses were the Navy's first helicopter anti-submarine squadron.
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 1 (HS-1), the Seahorses, holds the distinction of being the first dedicated helicopter anti-submarine warfare squadron in the U.S. Navy. Operating the H-3 Sea King, HS-1 pioneered the tactics, techniques, and procedures that would define rotary-wing ASW for decades. The Seahorses proved that helicopters could effectively hunt submarines from carrier decks, transforming the way the Navy approached undersea warfare. Every helicopter ASW squadron that followed owed its operational foundation to the groundwork laid by HS-1's pioneering aviators and aircrew.
Perfect For: HS-1 Seahorses veterans, H-3 Sea King enthusiasts, ASW pioneers, helicopter anti-submarine warfare historians, and naval aviation first-of-its-kind collectors.
The first to hunt subs from a helicopter — HS-1 started it all.
