Description
I walked so much I had to take it easy the next day, back a hundred times over this carrier, the USS Yorktown across from Charleston at Patriot's Point. The lighting was wonderful, the day marvelous against a background of the Charleston Arthur Ravenel Jr. Suspension Bridge.
The H-3 Sea King is one of 28 different aircraft on display here at Patriot's Point. This helicopter is dedicated in honor of Captain Robert S. Vermilya, USN (Ret), who was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star for heroism during rescue missions in Vietnam. This aircraft was flown aboard the USS Yorktown in January 1994.
“HS-4 was initiated into combat during its 1966 cruise to Southeast Asia. While operating in the Gulf of Tonkin, HS-4 pilots and aircrew rescued 24 downed airmen under hostile fire, a record for an ASW squadron in a single deployment.”
The Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King helicopter on the Flight Deck has HS-4 markings and bears the names of the 2 Pilots & 2 Aircrew lost at sea during the 1967 WESTPAC.
