The Proud Warriors of HSM-72 fly the MH-60R Seahawk from NAS Jacksonville and Atlantic Fleet carrier decks, providing anti-submarine and surface warfare capability for East Coast battle groups. Based at the Navy's Southeast aviation hub and deploying to the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, and beyond, the Proud Warriors are the battle group's primary submarine-hunting capability—a mission that demands extraordinary technical skill and never-ending vigilance. Their name says exactly what they are.
