I'm surprised more people here don't prefer the MH-60 helo. I can see why alot of people here like the P-3 as an air ASW asset. But MH-60 has it's own advantages. The ASW mission from the MH-60 is slower and more careful. You don't carry alot of sonobouys or weapons, so you have to be more skillful in localizing a target for prosecution. The good thing is you can hover and have a dipping sonar. Using this in conjunction with 2 sonobouys is useful for contact triangulation. MAD passes seem more controlled. I've found hunting submarines in the MH-60 to be quite enjoyable.
Overall, the P-3 is a better and more flexible ASW asset, but MH-60 still is quite useful in this role.
But still:
1. Seawolf (Sometimes FFG-7 rotates into #1)
2. FFG-7 (Sometimes Seawolf rotates into #2)
3. MH-60
Sea Demon
