- I think possibly I saw one picture with of a Seahawk flight test with
- a Harpoon strapped on, but that is as far as it ever went. Currently,
- there are no plans to carry Harpoon on the SH-60. The USN is instead
- equipping a total of 166 SH-60Bs to carry the AGM-119B Penguin. In the
- Navy's opnion, however, the Penguin is too expensive and only 106 will
- be bought. In the meantime, the Navy is looking for something cheaper.
