Abstract
The Royal Navy now deploys helicopters in all its escorts. The pattern and concept of operations from small ships have evolved over the years and detailed study of the control, landing, and deck handling of the helicopter have affected both ship and aircraft design. Similarly, a maintenance and support organization has grown out of the need to supervise the activities of over 40 separate embarked units.
