This VH-60N of Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) 1 is an executive transport helicopter derived from both the US Army's UH-60 Black Hawk and the US Navy's SH-60 Seahawk. Nine VH-60Ns were delivered to HMX-1 from 1989 as a replacement for the VH-1N. One VH-60N was written off on 19 May 1993. The VH-60N incorporates day/night/all-weather operations, self-contained navigation, GPS, TCAS, and CSFIR sensors, and carries no weapons. The VH-60N is equipped with an extensive communication suite with a seperate communications station and also sees Electric Magnetic Pulse hardening against jamming.
