HS-14

Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Fourteen (HS-14), known as the "Chargers," was established in 1984 as a U.S. Navy helicopter unit. Originally based at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, HS-14 operated primarily with the SH-3H Sea King and later transitioned to the SH-60F and HH-60H Seahawk helicopters. The squadron's primary mission was anti-submarine warfare (ASW), but it also provided search and rescue (SAR), anti-surface warfare, and logistics support, often deploying with Carrier Air Wing Five aboard the USS Kitty Hawk and later the USS George Washington. In 2013, HS-14 was redesignated as Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Fourteen (HSC-14), reflecting a broader mission set with the introduction of the MH-60S Seahawk.
