German Navy Receives 18th And Final NH-90 ‘Sea Lion’ Helicopter

The German Navy received its 18th and final NH-90 "Sea Lion" helicopter dedicated to utility and SAR missions. [...] It replaced the Sea King in German Navy service from 2018 and is dedicated to search and rescue (SAR) missions. In addition, the Sea Lion, like the Sea King before it, is used to transport cargo or people. Its secondary roles includes reconnaissance and situational awareness thanks to its long-range sensors. [...] In addition to its land-based use, the Sea Lion will also operate on Type 702 (Berlin class) combat support ships. [...]

The German Navy is expected to receive a total of 31 ASW helicopters starting from 2025. They will be known as the “Sea Tiger” in German Navy service. Its special designation is “multi-role frigate helicopter” (MRFH). It will be the German version of the NH90 NATO Frigate Helicopter (NH90 NFH) and closest to the French variant of the NFH (NFRS) known as Caïman.
