What's the advantage of a HIFR vice landing and getting a hot pump? Is it just a deckspace issue, or is it faster, or what? I presume the 60Fs (or H-3s) don't have any kind of RAST capes, so are they able to land on a small deck like that?

The deck of the frigate wasn't big enough for a Sea King to land so that wasn't an option.

I'm assuming he's talking about an old Knox-class, which I think had a flight deck (H-2?) but was pretty small.

Hell, If I just requested a ship to HIFR me, than I'm doing the Immediate Landing/Ditching checklist right after the HIFR checklist, telling the ship to get the RHIB in the water because I'll be ditching to the port side of the ship if/when this thing doesn't work...

Unless there's an indonesian oil rig near by...
