Helicopter Anti Submarine Light Squadron Four Nine "The Scorpions" Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light FOUR NINE (HSL-49), located at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California, is one of seven Pacific Fleet Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) MK III Squadrons. The "Scorpions" of HSL-49 were established on March 23, 1990. The squadron flies the world's most technically advanced helicopter, the SH 60B SEAHAWK, and has a complement of approximately 45 Officers and 180 Sailors. The "Scorpions" first deployment began in November 1990 with Detachment ONE deploying aboard USS FORD (FFG 54). During Operation DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM and most recently IRAQI FREEDOM, HSL49 detachments demonstrate the true versatility of the LAMPS MK III weapon system and the SEAHAWK helicopter as an anti-surface, mine search and multi-mission combat strike aircraft. HSL49 continues to excel in the LAMPS community by providing detachments to ships in support of Strike Group Operations, Counter Drug Operations and Maritime Interdiction Operations.
