Even the Coast Guard had three completely different helicopters.
I was a plankowner in the first 60B squadron.
The Navy then set out to enact the "Helo Master Plan". There are now two variants of the H-60, the MH-60R and MH-60S. They share the same cockpit and most of the same dynamic components. Huge savings in training and logistics.
