US Navy Helicopter Squadron HSL-49 Sticker — Scorpions of the Deep Blue
The Scorpions of HSL-49 stung fast and silent — enemy submarines learned to fear the sound of rotors.
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 49 (HSL-49), the Scorpions, was a U.S. Navy LAMPS Mk III squadron that operated the SH-60B Seahawk. Deploying aboard surface combatants, the Scorpions provided the fleet with critical anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and special operations support capabilities. HSL-49's detachments operated with remarkable autonomy, often serving as the sole aviation asset aboard their assigned warship. The Scorpions' reputation for reliability and tactical aggression made them a sought-after partner for surface warfare commanders across the fleet.
Perfect For: HSL-49 Scorpions alumni, SH-60B detachment crews, surface combatant sailors, ASW warriors, and Navy rotary-wing collectors.
One sting was all it took.
