Photo Comment

The small Westland Wasp helicopter was designated AH-12 by the Dutch navy, reflecting the fact that it could attack with torpedoes but relied on target information from its mother ship, in this case HNLMS Van Nes, a Van Speijk-class frigate. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie
