Helicopter Combat Support Squadron ONE (HELSUPPRON ONE or HC-1) (previously Helicopter Utility Squadron ONE (HU-1)), also known as the "Pacific Fleet Angels" or just "Angels", was a helicopter squadron of the United States Navy operating several helicopter types in support of Pacific Fleet ships and other units. The squadron was established on 1 April 1948 and remained active until disestablished on 29 April 1994. ==History== Early experience with helicopters by the Navy was developed by Helicopter Development Squadron THREE (VS-3) which operated out of Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey, USA. This led to the creation of the service's first two designated helicopter squadrons, HU-1 and HU-2 on 1 April 1948. As the Navy changed the scope of roles for its utility helicopter squadrons, it also re-designated them Helicopter Combat Support Squadrons. HU-1 was duly re-designated HC-1 on 1 July 1965. A detachment of HC-1 participated in Operation Desert Storm aboard and during its return played a key role assisting civilians in aftermath of the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone.〔 The squadron was disestablished on 29 April 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HC-1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
