"Flying Frigate" making up part of the naval aviation flypast for review by Smt. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, President of India and Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces during President's Fleet Review 2011. Based on Sea King HAS Mk.5, these helicopters have been a force multiplier aboard Godavari-class frigates, Delhi-class destroyers and carriers. Along with ASW, 42Bs can perform ship strike with the Sea Eagle ASM. The Sea Kings are operated by INAS 330 "Harpoons" and INAS 336 "Flaming Arrows".
