This workhorse is one of about 26odd Sea Kings left in the Indian naval arsenal. This particular chopper is a part of INAS 330 'Harpoons' based at INS Shikra, Mumbai. Seen here with its rotors folded and secured to deck on the port quarter of INS Viraat's stern, the starboard side had a parked Sea Harrier reg IN617 which was flown by that squadron's CO on its retirement day in May 2016.
