Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM-49), formerly the Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light FOUR NINE (HSL-49), is a United States Navy Maritime Strike helicopter squadron based in San Diego, California. The ''Scorpions'' of HSM-49 are an operational fleet squadron based at NAS North Island. Their tailcode is TX and their radio callsign is "Red Stinger". The squadron provides combat-ready pilots, aircrewmen, technicians, and aircraft to Pacific Fleet warships. The squadron operates the SH-60B Seahawk and the MH-60R helicopters. == History == HSM-49 was established on April 1, 2015, after transitioning from HSL-49. HSL-49 was established on March 23, 1990 as the U.S. Navy transitioned the Helicopter Anti-Submarine Light community from the SH-2 Seasprite to the SH-60B Seahawk. The ''Scorpions'' first deployed in November 1990 with Detachment ONE embarked in USS FORD (FFG 54). The squadron - then and now - deploys its personnel and aircraft in an expeditionary model. Detachments are led by an Officer-in-Charge, normally a Lieutenant Commander, and typically deploy with one or two helicopters, and a complement of pilots, Naval Aircrewmen, mechanics and technicians. Detachments embark Arleigh Burke class destroyers and Ticonderoga class cruisers in support of Carrier Strike Groups (CSG), Surface Action Groups (SAG), or independent deployed operations. Recent deployed detachments have engaged in missions ranging from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), counter-piracy, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR), and Counter-Illicit Trafficking. 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「HSM-49」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
