#INAS330 #Harpoons celebrates its golden jubilee today. The sqn was commissioned on 17 Apr 1971 & received baptism by fire when Indo-Pak war broke out in Dec 1971. The sqn was initially equipped with Seaking Mk 42 ASW helicopters & is presently operating the Mk 42B variant.
Called the "Flying Frigate”, Seaking 42B is among the most potent weapon platforms in naval inventory capable of launching anti ship missiles, anti submarine torpedoes & depth charges. The Sqn has won ‘Best Frontline Sqn’ & ‘Best Naval Air Sqn’ award on numerous occasions.
INAS 330 continues to remain the eyes & ears of the fleet & has proved to be a force multiplier due to its all weather, day/night capability. The unbridled commitment of the squadron is captured in its motto - ‘Any sea, Any mission, Any deck’
