Decommissioning Freedom. Sounds about right.
Let’s hope the new USS Chesapeake doesn’t run across a new Shannon.

Air Force ending procurement of HH-60W combat rescue helicopter in FY23 - Breaking Defense
The Air Force’s decision to curtail the buy raises major questions about the future of the service’s combat search and rescue mission.
