Need help finding SH-3 Sea King Manual

I need some help finding out how many sonobuoys an SH-3 Sea King could carry. I know that originally sonobuoys were manually launched through the cabin door and that the later SH-3H had twelve dispensers tubes however in the photos below it appears that the dispensers could be reloaded from inside the aircraft which means that twelve sonobuoys may only be the minimum load carried. Ideally if anyone has the NATOPS Flight Manuals for the SH-3A/D and SH-3H that would be a great help.

This guy in Murietta California is selling a CD copy of a circa '93. You possibly could turn it into a paper manual depending on the quality of the copies. Maybe contact the guy and see what he can do for you.

If we thought we needed more then 12 we would carry more then 12 since we could reload the tubes in flight.

charlielima, what did you typically carry while on ASW patrol or while conducting ASW training? I am modding my Cold Waters install because the Soviet Campaign mod has a lot of inaccurate weapon and search stores data for US ASW aviation assets. I have S-2, S-3, P-3, SH-2, and SH-60 primary source documentation but I only have partial stores info for the SH-3.

The smoke launcher in the sponson full of mk-25s. A working MAD bird on the other side. 12 or more passive sonobouys. I don't think I remember a whole lot of extra bouys. another 12 would not be hard to stow. The dipping sonar was our main sensor. It had 3 frequencies so 3 helos could work an area or target. Our Airwing had no S-3s. If we did have bouys out for a contact the smallboys, destroyers and frigates would most certainly charge thru our pattern. I don't remember how many channels the bouys had but we unlike an S-3 or P-3 could only monitor 1 at a time.

      Agusta ASH-3 Sea King Over Persia
      By yakarov79


      View File Agusta ASH-3 Sea King Over Persia
      This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model
      Representing Agusta ASH-3D Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.
       
      ---------------------------------------------
      The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.
      This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
       
      This mod represents Agusta ASH-3D and ASH-3D/TS Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy in 1978.
      Via fake pilot ive added radar dome to D and D/TS versions.
      Iran oredered 17 D versions and 3 D/TS.
       
      Model itself is untouched by me.
       
      Ive made skins similiar as in RH-53D representing 3 colour schemes. early white/grey 1978, 1990 grey paint and current blue camo paint
       
      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
      Iranian Navy is using only 3 aircrafts model D/TS and 17 D version.
       
      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.
       

      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
       
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
       
      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
       
      Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.
       
      This aircraft is using same nation as previously released RH-53D for Iran Navy - called IranNavy.
       

      Last thing:
      There is new cockpit. As replacement ive done some simple generic cockpit for SH-3. Since there is lot of versions of SeaKing lot of pits, this is generic and simple build, that should fit here.
      Consider it as beta, few things are not working there.
       
      ***************
      THIS COCKPIT FOR SH-3 SEA KING OR ANY PART OF IT MUST NOT BE HOSTED OR
      POSTED FOR DOWNLOAD ON ANY OTHER WEB SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS
      PERMISSION, OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN THIRDWIRE FLIGHT
      SIMULATORS, AND MUST NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE BY ITSELF
      OR WITH ANY OTHER FILES OR MODS.

      Unpack the files.
      Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack.
       
      Credits:
      Florian - BIG thanks for model.
      Yakarov79 - me: INI work , skins, decals and cockpit. fake pilot mods.
       
      Have fun.
