Photo Comment

This Seasprite was delivered to the USN as UH-2B in 1963. It was converted to SH-2D in 1971 and then to SH-2F in 1980. It was assigned to various ships throughout the 1980s. It is displayed here in the markings of its last unit, HSL-33 at Barbers Point, where the Seasprite was for just three months (April-June 1993). In 1993, the helicopter moved to NAS North Island for storage. Since 2004, 150157 is on display at the USS Midway in San Diego.
