Sea King Helicopter (Air Sea Rescue)
A medium-lift rescue helicopter drawn from the Air Sea Rescue fleet, its Sea King rotor blades cutting through the damp coastal air as it lifts off in response to Hart's urgent order. The aircraft's navy-gray fuselage bears the faded insignia of its search-and-rescue service, its side door already open to deploy rescue swimmers. Inside, WRNS and Air Sea Rescue personnel work quickly to coordinate the operation, radar scanners sweeping the empty sea where civilian and military signals have vanished. The helicopter's presence signals immediate action, its rotor wash disturbing the surface as it banks toward the reported last known position of the missing civilians.
