Three Sikorsky SH-3A <i>Sea King</i> from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 6 (HS-6) "Indians", flying over the aircraft carrier USS <i>Kearsarge</i> (CVS-33). HS-6 was assigned to Carrier Anti-submarine Air Group 53 (CVSG-53) aboard <i>Kearsarge</i>. The picture was taken after the 1962 FRAM-modernisation, but the carrier still carries the SPS-8A radar. Also, the <i>Sea King</i>s are not yet painted in the grey/white scheme, therefore the date is therefore probably 1962–1964.
