'In 1956, USS Sealion participated in excercises to test the feasibility of using submarines as platforms for helicopters during reconnaissance missions. Marines were shuttled between the sub and the shore on a Sikorsky HRS-3.' This is a HRS-1 on the deck of the submarine. Photo from: US Naval Institute
