The Most Widely Used US Navy Aircraft Is Not a Fighter Jet
Briefly

The Black Hawk helicopter, originally developed by Sikorsky in the 1970s and introduced to military service in 1979, is the single-most widely flown aircraft by the U.S. Navy.
The MH-60 Seahawk, one of the main variants of the Black Hawk, is specifically designed for maritime operations and features advanced sensor systems, allowing for surface warfare and reconnaissance.
With top speeds over 180 mph achieved by its T700-GE-401C engines, the MH-60 Seahawk can also be equipped with weapons like torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.
Despite the extensive fleet of fighter jets and transport aircraft in the Navy, the Black Hawk remains the backbone of the U.S. military's aerial operations.
