Give Air-Sea Rescue a shot.
(After all, that's what the Plane Guard does)

I think that M.B. Is right. Armed Surface Recce sounds familiar (again, not
a rotary winged guy). IIRC, it was a way to put some readiness points into
the PG function--i.e. Between launches, they'd go off and do ASR and be back
at the ship NLT 5 minutes prior to the first launch.
