On the deck of USS Intrepid, in front of an H-19 and AH-1J. The U.S. Coast Guard selected the commercial S-62 single turbine helicopter for rescue operations. Flown by the USCG from 1963-89 on cutters, icebreakers and air stations, the Seaguard has the distinction of having saved over 15,000 lives, more than any other helicopter in the world.
