They were just straightening the bird so it can be pulled into the hangar. The way the boat was rocking, they should have stopped the evolution and chained it down until calmer seas.
@raytrygstad Funny! (In the proper context of course)! I deployed with "Hookey Twos" in 1986 with HSL-35, Det. 5 on board the Reasoner then rolled over to shore duty with a LAMPS MK III squadron. Thought SH-60Bs only deployed aboard ships equipped with RAST! I wonder if this wasn't a landing on another ship (without an airdet) for whatever reason and they just were not knowledgable? Seems that the pilots and aircrew would've properly instructed them though!
no, i know the lead guy. the ship turned while the deck crew was getting ready to put the bird in the hanger. while they do this the ship is not supposed to turn, but in this case they did.
WTF Personell on military boats never seem to learn have to prepare for rough sea. They should have strapped it down -.- And i mean long before the rollover.
@64CSAR i think that's a 'natural' reaction to something like this for the inexperienced...? see how the other guy almost pulls him back and is prolly yelling "STOP you fool!"
@Cubes001 It's a 15 million dollar helicopter that need it's blades replaced. That will be replaced by the American taxpayers combined in an hour from a single state while only charging a couple cents extra given most damages are covered by the budget.
it wasn't the swells that tipped the bird over it looks like something went wrong either with the cable system or the helo itself during the straightening of the helo to bring it in to the hangar.

it wasnt the swells that tipped this bird over something went wrong with the cable system that straightens the helo out to bring it into the barn if you look close enough you can see the cables back by the tail section
Yeah something was being done at the time this happened because there is clearly a crew member still at the controls wile this happens... I'm going with what neosonic66 said.. Most likely what happened
You can't really notice it, but the swells that night were 6-9 feet, which for a Frigate is pretty significant when we were taking them on the beam. The reason we maneuvered was to give them a more steady deck to finish up on, and since the Air Boss called up to say that they had chained it down, our OOD thought we were clear to go.
@DaLoner88 that's just the brake-rider inside the bird... a brake-rider must always be present in the aircraft during straightening and traversing evolutions to quickly apply the brakes in case of emergency
Its not easy moving these birds in the barn in heavy seas...I had the tiller on the tail wheel on my last deployment and once you start getting it in there isn't much room on the sides either...HSL - 36
i was in hs-14 and we did a ult on the lassen and this evolution scared the hell out of me on the first time. everybody else that had done it befor was laughing there ass off
You're all a bunch of idiots. The brid was from 42, east coast. It had to be craned off due to structural damage. You cannot see the horizon becuase its pitch dark on the ocean, there is no reference whatosever; it was an extremely rough night and the aircraft had to be straightened. If you're not an aviator, shut the hell up, if you're not an HSL bubba, then shut the hell up too, you knw absolutely nothing as to what this evolution entails or how its performed.
C'mon now navyavi, officers handle themselves a bit better than that, don't they? They did when I was in. Remember, this is YouTube, not the ready room. Everybody here is an expert. Just ask them.
No way in hell.. I work on them.. Maybe a week if they are lucky and there was no airframe damage. The biggest hurdle is the investigations an the Dog and Pony show for the big wigs to show them how stupid all their subordinates were.. I'm betting a week to three weeks..

ok shut up ? fine ive been told to shut up before im use to it ? but you know im right they do waste taxpayers money its just a big game the the goverment ? lets play war with the taxpayers money ? big joke ? tell that to all the wounded in irac ? bet they dont think its a big joke ? bring home our troops ? stop the war andthe wounded ? build america not irac put the billons here not there thats their problem ? 911 they were on tv laughing at americans now were rebuilding their country ? why ?
irac and billons hun? wow buddy your super smart. What if you were stranded in a storm and these guys were going to launch to save your ass. If your going to take out your taxpayer money crap talk to the Lawmakers that pay 8 percent of their salaries into their pension system, although this only compensates for about 1/5 of the typical lifetime benefit. The rest is payed by.... guess who? Thats right
they dont care just order anotherone what the hell it isnt our money anyways its the taxpayers money thats the way the goverment thinks order ten more so we have a fue extras wow great country bring home the troops stop the killing now end the war now please
Alright here's some answere's for the questions being asked first off the reason the aircraft was not tied to the flight deck was because they where doing what was called a straghtening evolution bassically the flight deck has two tracks on it the crew has to line the bird up with one of the tracks via two cables one on each side of the bird. To straighten the bird it has to free of chocks and chains.
how stupid they were standing there watching it go over why didnt they lash it down real quick so it wouldnt roll over ? there was people in it i seen them thrue the window thats a shame to just let that happen whatta mess
They where doing everything right in this evolution. Nobody is allowed around the aircraft when ther are in a straightening evolution. There was one person inside the aircraft he is the brake rider and he is the only person alowed inside. In a situation like this one we are trained to let it go it's not worth risking your life over. To straighten the aircraft it had to be out of chocks and chains that is why it wasnt secured to the flight deck.
There are padeyes on the flight deck they where in a straightening evolution. Small ships have tracks on the flight deck that lead into the hanger. The crew had to straighten the aircraft via two cables one on each side of the aircraft. When a straightening evolution is in play the aircraft will be free of chocks and chains. The bird flopped on its side because the ship turned and with the aircraft not secured it whent over. There was nothing the crew could have done.
Yeah too many times I've been in straightning evolutions and they decide to turn the ship. Fucking idiots up in the bridge don't give a damn and they always got there asses chewed by our air boss. We where lucky this never happened to us but we've came close a couple times. I feel sorry for the brake rider haha. You should see the after pictures too pretty wicked.
They weren't turning though. The ship has to remain a red deck when the helo isn't tied down with the trap set during a straighting evolution. You can tell the swells were rocking the ship and that's what caused the helo to overturn. I like how ADCS tried to flip it back over though ha. The officers up in the pilot house are fucking retarded though I'll give you that much.
Well I agree with every thing you said and I could see the boat rockin but I've personally been on the flight deck doing these evolutions with the bridge informed and they still turned on us. It's kinda dark so you can't really see what's goin on there was probably too much pitch and roll and the maintainers should have just left it on deck and put the full 18 on er. How could that be an ADCS He's wearing a flight suit???
lol...you guys are the first ones to kind of actully know what your talking about! Besides.....its my airboss thats trying to catch the helo. Idiots in the pilot house manuvered during are straighting and the RSD failed. Funny thing is I was always on the side it rolled over on to watch the tail probe line up and just so happen to not be there at the time.....lucky me!
HAHAHA Yeah that woulda sucked but I'm thinkin that brake rider probably shit himself eh? Yeah I'm currently in HSL-45 and recently got back from a deployement so I kinda know this feeling. We never had one roll on us but we've had a main mount come up off the deck. Those junior officers just don't give a damn when we're back there. You should feel pretty special we watched this video a little while after it happened for some class I took.
dude... JustinAshley? AM3 or hopfully AM2 by now? its me... AD2(AW) Duong. When you said 45 i lol! i was watching this video and brought back so much memoires. How goes life at 45?
The idiots in the pilot house? Your air boss called up to us and said that you had the freakin' thing chalked down. Which is what the NCIS investigation that they conducted in Rota concluded as well.
They were in the middle of a straightening and traversing evolution, the helo had to be unchained... the use cables and the trap on the deck to twist the helo and pull it into the hangar... the reason it rolled is because the geniuses driving the ship maneuvered during the straightening evolution, which is a HUGE no-no...
Once again I'm not defending the dipshits in the pilot house because they're young ignorant ensigns and jg's but it was inclemment weather conditions causing enough pitch and roll for the helo to topple over like that. You have to be a red deck during those evolutions which means the ship will matain a safe speed and course until the evolution is complete. There was nothing anybody could have done. I would have just left the thing on deck until the weather improved.
"The Geniuses" driving the ship were told by the Air Boss that it was chained down. That guy you see running out there to use his super human strength to save the helicopter was the air boss.
@patmagroin20 im not sure if its for helicopters too but if an airplane prop hits the ground you have to get the whole engine inspected and sometimes replaced
@patmagroin20 i cant fly yet im not old enough i just know because i know lots of pilots and have flown with them a couple times i cant wait till i get to fly though.
it had nothing to do with the conditions. The FDD is an idiot. yeah lets try pushing the 16 ton helo...when you are twisting the bird...you need to be moving forward too. The pilot in the shack should have known that too. East coast HSL guys are retarded...lol
What are you talking about? Nobody said this was an HSL-45 bird and who the fuck says left coast dumbass? I said I'm in HSL-45 I didn't say that this was a video from my command.
As a former Naval Officer I know.....SOMEBODY was "voilently" fired for this mishap!

You should feel pretty special we watched this video a little while after it happened for some class I took.

The idiots in the pilot house? Your air boss called up to us and said that you had the freakin' thing chalked down. Which is what the NCIS investigation that they conducted in Rota concluded as well.

The first time it started to go, it looked like he just touched it and it fell right back down lol - too funny, but an expensive mistake.

They were in the middle of a straightening and traversing evolution, the helo had to be unchained... the use cables and the trap on the deck to twist the helo and pull it into the hangar... the reason it rolled is because the geniuses driving the ship maneuvered during the straightening evolution, which is a HUGE no-no...

Once again I'm not defending the dipshits in the pilot house because they're young ignorant ensigns and jg's but it was inclemment weather conditions causing enough pitch and roll for the helo to topple over like that. You have to be a red deck during those evolutions which means the ship will matain a safe speed and course until the evolution is complete. There was nothing anybody could have done. I would have just left the thing on deck until the weather improved.

"The Geniuses" driving the ship were told by the Air Boss that it was chained down. That guy you see running out there to use his super human strength to save the helicopter was the air boss.

@patmagroin20 im not sure if its for helicopters too but if an airplane prop hits the ground you have to get the whole engine inspected and sometimes replaced

@marble97c - Yeah, we have a myriad of checks to do in this case, although our blades aren't connected as directly to the engines as yours are

it had nothing to do with the conditions. The FDD is an idiot. yeah lets try pushing the 16 ton helo...when you are twisting the bird...you need to be moving forward too. The pilot in the shack should have known that too. East coast HSL guys are retarded...lol
