The Seahawk helicopter is part of the Australian Navy's destroyer HMS Brisbane, which is on an area deployment mission with another Australian Navy frigate. At that time, the crew of the "SeaHawk" helicopter carried out an emergency landing on the sea surface.
The Australian Ministry of Defence said in a press release that about 20 minutes after the accident, the destroyer HMS Brisbane deployed speedboats and rescued the crew.
Australian Navy Rear Admiral Mark Hammond said the Australian Navy's MH-60R Seahawk helicopter fleet would be suspended, and the Australian Navy is currently equipped with 24 US-made Seahawk helicopters. Both Australian warships are currently searching for helicopter wreckage in the area of the accident to determine the cause of the accident.
