Which helicopter is designated as Sea Dragon and used in AMCM?

• A. MH-63E Sea Dragon
• B. MH-53E Sea Dragon
• C. MH-60 Sea Dragon
• D. CH-53E Sea Dragon

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is which helicopter specifically earned the Sea Dragon designation for airborne mine countermeasures. The Sea Dragon name belongs to the U.S. Navy’s dedicated AMCM platform, the MH-53E Sea Dragon. This heavy-lift helicopter was built to carry and operate the mine countermeasures equipment from ships, enabling search, identification, and neutralization of mines from the air with long range and substantial payload. That combination—specialized AMCM gear carried and deployed from a heavy-lift helicopter—defines its identity as Sea Dragon, making it the right choice. The other helicopters listed do not carry that Sea Dragon designation or serve the AMCM role in the same way.
