New Queer? for the fleet, EF-18G

Once again proving that sometimes it's right to do something, if only to
show what a lousy idea it was in the first place. g

Happy New Year to all in r.a.m.n!

Is the S-3 gone as a tanker?

That's basically all the S-3 does now.

Until it is retired without replacement sometime in the next few years.

Is there any plan to convert some of these to permanent KS-3s(A good idea,

No.

For ASW, MH-60Rs and prayer, mainly. For everything else, land-based air
and the Super Bug.

Don't tell Fred McCall that carriers will be beholden to land based
air. If you do you will join the legions that have been Plonked By

Notice that I said "Until it is retired without replacement sometime in the

"Without replacement" means NO replacement.

Too bad. Altho I am not a VS guy, there are butt loads of Chinese 'U boats'
that will be an 'issue' in the future, IMO. Do the Blackhawks onboard the CVs
have a antisub mission?

Plus flyin' KS-3s offa the boat would be a great 'retirement' job...

Seahawks, not Blackhawks, and yes, ASW is the main job for the SH-60F (well,
when they're not doing VERTREP or Plane Guard). But there are only four or
six per carrier.

I know that it's probably been explained here before, but...

Somebody wanna go over the realignment of the HS and HSL communities? That
is, conversion of SH-60B and HH-60H to SH-60S and R's and what each helo's
mission will be?
