SH-2 Seasprite:
The blackshoes liked to piss off the airdales by referring them as "DASH Mk.2". Unlike DASH, the SH-2 wasn't nuclear-capable. (Yes, the Navy was crazy enough to marry a nuclear depth charge to a marginally-reliable drone 60+ years ago.)

Our 'upgrade' from the HH-34 was a UH-2B... Single engine, not IFR, but 'qualified' as a SAR bird. Not so much. And multiple problems with tail rotor shaft failures (fixed with two engines and beefed up drive shaft couplings). But it got us back down in one piece.
I remember a SH-2F that was so problematical that it was nicknamed “Chiplight 340”.
