 1960년대에 캐나다항모 보나벤처는 네덜란드항모 카렐 도르만과 함께 S-2 트랙커 대잠기와 SH-3 시킹 대잠헬리콥터를 탑재하는 대잠항모로서 마치 1980년대에 영국 경항모 인빈시블급이 미국항모의 대잠호위를 맡았던 것처럼  미국과 영국 공격항모의 대잠호위 역할을 맡았다.

그러다 1970년 보나벤처가 퇴역하면서 캐다나는 2000~3000톤의 프리깃 산로랑급과 아나폴리스급에 대형 시킹 헬리콥터를 1대씩 탑재하고 1972년 시킹을 2대 탑재하는 이로코이즈급 헬리콥터 구축함을 건조해 대잠항모 보나벤처에 있던 헬리콥터를 수상함정으로 1~2대씩 분산했다. 일본 해상자위대의 DDH와 88함대도 사실 캐나다해군에서 배운 것이다. 실제로 일본 최초의 DDH 하루나의 시킹 헬리콥터 강제 착함장치 BEAR TRAP은 캐나다에서 수입했다.

The Royal Canadian Navy was authorized to purchase 41 Sea King models in 1963, designating them CHSS-2 Sea King.

The airframe components were made by Sikorsky in Connecticut but most CHSS-2s were assembled in Montreal by United Aircraft of Canada (now Pratt & Whitney Canada), a subsidiary of Sikorsky's parent company. Upon the unification of Canada’s military in 1968, the CHSS-2 was re-designated CH-124.
The RCN developed a technique for landing the huge helicopters on small ship decks, using a 'hauldown' winch (called a 'Beartrap'), earning aircrews the nickname of 'Crazy Canucks'. The 'Beartrap' allows the Sea King to land on ships that allows recovery of the Sea King in virtually any sea state. In 1968, the RCN, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Canadian Army unified to form the Canadian Forces; air units were dispersed throughout the new force structure until Air Command (AIRCOM) was created in 1975.


The mission of the Sea King helicopter is to enhance a ship's operational capabilities. With the helicopter's suite of radar, FLIR, and acoustic processors the helicopter is employed beyond the ship's own sensor horizon and is able to detect and report surface and sub-surface contact.

Finally, in July 2004, it was announced that the Sea Kings will be replaced by the new Sikorsky H-92 Superhawk, carrying a General Dynamics mission package, with the first of 28 CH-148 Cyclones scheduled for delivery in 2008


CH-124 : Anti-submarine warfare helicopter for the Royal Canadian Navy (41 assembled by United Aircraft of Canada).
CH-124A : The Sea King Improvement Program (SKIP) added modernized avionics as well as improved safety features.
CH-124B :Alternate version of the CH-124A without a dipping sonar but with a MAD sensor and additional storage for deployable stores.


CH-124B2 : 6 CH-124B's were upgraded to the CH-124B2 standard in 1991-1992. The revised CH-124B2 retained the sonobuoy processing gear to passively detect submarines but, the aircraft was now also fitted with a towed-array sonar to supplement the ship's sonar. Since anti-submarine warfare is no longer a major priority within the Canadian Forces, the CH-124B2 were refitted again to become improvised troop carriers for the newly formed Standing Contingency Task Force.
CH-124C : One　 CH-124 operated by the Helicopter Operational Test and Eval　uation Facility located at CFB Shearwater. Used for testing new gear, and when not testing new gear, it is deployable to any Canadian Forces ship requiring a helicopter.
CH-124U : Unofficial designation for 4 CH-124's that were modified for passenger/freight transport. One　 crashed in 1973, and the survivors were later refitted to become CH-124A's

(인천=연합뉴스) 캐나다 해군 함정 오타와함(4천770t급)이 사령관 나이젤.S.그린우드(Nazel.S.Greenwood) 준장을 비롯, 장병 200여명을 태우고 21일 인천항에 입항했다.

아시아 해상 훈련 중 인천항을 방문한 캐나다 해군 장병들은 26일까지 체류 기간 함상 리셉션, 인천해역방어사령부와 친선 축구경기, 장애인 복지시설 봉사활동을 갖고 판문점, 전쟁기념관, 경복궁 등지를 관광할 계획이다.

또 오타와함 지휘부는 안상수 인천시장 등 인천지역 기관.단체장과 국방부 및 해군 고위급 장성을 예방하며 군사외교 활동도 가질 예정이다.

오타와함은 오는 26일 다음 기항지인 중국을 향해 출항한다.
