The Royal Australian Navy Landing Helicopter Dock HMAS Adelaide (L01) has recently conducted First of Class Flight trials with the Sikorsky MH-60R Romeo anti-submarine naval helicopter.
The trials will determine the safe operating limits of the Romeo helicopters on the Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) in a range of sea states and wind speeds at both day and night.
Australia’s Defence Department says that this training is essential and ensures Navy maintains its readiness to conduct Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief operations in support of the Australian public and our neighbours.
