It became renowned during the Vietnam War as a transport, rescue, and anti-submarine helicopter. Its British counterpart, the Westland Wessex, was produced under license by Westland Helicopters and served in the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and with Australian forces, among others. It took part in many conflicts from the late 1950s up to the Falklands (1982).
