Salvage Sailor Posted April 14, 2019 Share #155 Posted April 14, 2019 When do pigs fly? HSL-49 DET-1 SCORPIONS - PIGS WITH WINGS - Flight Hogs - First Deployment Desert Storm 91 aboard USS FORD (FFG-54) Hawaii - Philippines - Bahrain - Mauritius - India - Thailand - Diego Garcia HSM-49 was redesignated on 1 April 2015, formerly being Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 49 (HSL-49). HSL-49 was established on 23 March 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 1 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.
