The only two US Navy aircraft amongst the US Marine Corps hardware was a pair of Boeing HH-46Ds from HC-11 Detachment 6. One of the pair, 150954/VR-73, is pictured with a request for beer on the side, possibly reflecting the fact that US Navy ships do not allow alcohol on board. A flare dispenser is attached to the fuselage just behind the cockpit.
