Description

USCGC Decisive; no caption/number. The crew of the Decisive undertaking helicopter touch-down and tie-down drill with HH-52A #1463. Note the "grid deck" apparatus on the flight deck which was used during flight operations at sea. The rectangular grids acted as immediate wheel chocks, keeping the helicopter stationary while the flight deck crew secured the helicopter with tie-down straps. The Coast Guard experimented with a number of landing systems and methods during the mid-1960s and continued to refine day and night flight operations well into the 1970s.
