The Navy's fleet of helicopters is based in Nowra, NSW. Each type of helicopter is assigned to a particular Squadron, who maintain, service and fly the particular aircraft. When operational, the helicopters are located aboard ships out at sea so are built to withstand extreme conditions like heavy rain, strong winds and high seas. They are involved in a range of operations including search and rescue, over-sea transport, surface and submarine warfare and delivery of troops and equipment.
