US Navy Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14 (HM-14) \"Vanguard\" specializes in airborne mine countermeasures. Using the MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopters, HM-14 conducts mine detection, sweeping, and neutralization to ensure safe naval operations and the protection of sea lanes. Established in 1987, the squadron is based at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, and deploys globally to support U.S. and coalition operations. In addition to mine countermeasures, HM-15 performs secondary missions like heavy-lift transport, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and vertical replenishment, making it a versatile unit in both combat and peacetime operations.
Sikorsky MH-53E Sea Dragon Designed to meet a US Marine Corps requirement for a heavy-lift transpory helicopter to replace the CH-37 Mojave, the CH-53 was first flown on October 14th, 1964.

The Panzerkampf 1:72 scale CH-53 is an impressive die-cast reproduction of Sikorsky\'s massive heavy-lift helicopter. Major variations include the USMC CH-53E Super Stallion and specialized MH-53E Sea Dragon. The CH-53E is distinguished by its three engines, seven-blade main rotor, large external fuel tanks and heavy-lift configuration, while the MH-53E features noticeably enlarged fuel sponsons and specialized equipment for long-range airborne mine-countermeasure missions. Panzerkampf has produced numerous operational and special-scheme releases, including HMX-1 presidential-support aircraft. Folded rotors configuration, landing gear, antennas, panel lines and authentic unit markings give this exceptionally large 1:72 model outstanding display presence and collector appeal. Each model includes one set of rotor blades and two alternate rotor hubs. One rotor hub has straight arms for attaching the blades in extended (flying) configuration. The other rotor hub has bent arms for attaching the blades in folded (parking) configuration. Handy if you don\'t have a lot of extra shelf space to display such a large model!
