Westland Wasp HAS.1 seen in HMS Sheffield.
The Westland Wasp was a small 1960s British turbine powered, shipboard anti-submarine helicopter. Produced by Westland Helicopters, it came from the same P.531 programme as the British Army Westland Scout, and was based on the earlier piston-engined Saunders-Roe Skeeter. It fulfilled the requirement of the Royal Navy for a helicopter small enough to land on the deck of a frigate and carry a useful load of two homing torpedoes.
The Wasp sank one ship in combat, seriously damaging the ARA Santa Fe submarine in 1982 during the Falklands War.
