Lenth of deployment on a small boy?

A CATM shot will likely be -- no actual shots

Only HSC-3 has the new weapons mod -- to be passed to HSC-8.

Ya, sorry. HSC-3 is right next to 21 and they did have the weapons mod. Talking to some of the guys around 21 they said that they would have it in about a year.

One thing I should add - USNS deployments for long cruise are out on the east coast. West coast (esp. Guam) still does them for the time being.

I belive that under the new helo plan, the "front office" for the HSC and HSM will be on the Boat, handy for CAG and the Admiral to yell at. So they may rotate folks in and out of the other boats and back to the Big Boat.

How they'll handle the dets for independant-ops deployments, I'm not sure.

The expeditionary HSM squadrons will work the same way as legacy HSL. Peace-meal dets to different boats.

Is there a list of the expeditionary vs the wing deployed HSM squadrons. I presume the newly created HSM squadrons will be expeditionary. Will the HSL converts continue the dets?

I presume this will be temporary until the full "master plan" is employed. My understanding of the master plan was that we were going to all R/S and that both would deploy as a squadron to the carrier. 10-15 of each and then they would be farmed out from there.

My data is pretty old, but...

There was a list. Among it, they had -37 as the last HSL to become HSM. They would continue to be expeditionary. This was when I left. Since then, I've heard from their soon to be PXO that they rearranged things and now some other squadron will be last. So there's a case of a HSL becoming HSM but being expeditionary. Meanwhile, -47 became part of a CVW, but they were still HSL. Other than the RAG, I believe they were the first to become HSM, and are still part of a CVW.

No doubt, all subject to change, but you get the idea.

As with anything else the Navy does I am sure it is subject to change a zillion times before it finally comes to fruition.
