Fast forward later to a H-60 HS squadron that was dipping and ended up losing the dome for some "unknown" reason. When they returned to the squadron, the CO immediately declared there was no mishap and to write it up as a HAZREP due to a "large sea predator." When the ASO/SO pushed back, the CO stated there was already a HAZREP on record that proves this can happen and therefore there was no mishap.

Remember this happening and lots of snickering amongst the other HS squadrons about this. It was complete bs.

Somewhat in the same vein of animals vs aircraft (or sonars I suppose), we had a birdstrike over at about FL240 Kuwait that ruined the radome. One of the pilots and the FE both saw it right before impact, it being a dark blur about the size of a large bird, and it left a nice dark colored dent on the radome. A little while later we found out that VP-30 apparently mocked our report and told other squadrons we were full of shit, birds don't fly that high (they do). Didn't really engender fond feelings towards the RAG, which weren't all that great to begin with at the time.
