Sea Dragon MH-53E The American manufacturer Sikorsky created the huge MH-53E Sea Dragon, a member of the H-53E/S80 family. It’s one of the biggest transport helicopters in the West. Japan and the US Navy both use the Sea Dragon. The helicopters made in Japan are a bit unique.
The MH-53E Sea Dragon is in service with the United States Navy since June 1986 when the Navy bought 40 helicopters. The MH-53E is a derived version of the CH-53E Super Stallion, is larger and has a larger fuel capacity
Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM), as the name implies, is the main task. Vertical shipboard delivery and attack transports are examples of supplementary responsibilities. Additionally helpful are air refueling missions, SAR operations, external freight transport, and land and sea operations for the MH-53E. The heli can be used from aircraft carriers and other ships at sea. The MH-53E has a 50 nautical mile range and can transport 55 troops (or 16 tons of cargo).
