[edit] Need for editing

This page needs to be edited to comply with WikiProject Aircraft page content guidelines. This also means the page needs to be cross-linked from "Kaman Seasprite" to be consistant with the Manufacturer-Aircraft_Name format preferred by the project, although the page name is consistant with the entries for other U.S. armed forces aircraft. --Ray Trygstad 19:47, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC) Cross link done (not quite 2 years later :-) - Winstonwolfe 01:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the category U.S. ASW aircraft 1950-1959 from this page as the H-2 was not used in an ASW role until 1971; consequently this is an incorrect categorization. --Ray Trygstad 21:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I did some minor reorganization for readability. BillCJ 01:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australia

I added a new comment that has emmerged on the 15th May 2006, that the Australian government is now considering scrapping the entire fleet, rather than trying to fix the main problems that exist. lturner80, 15th May 2006.

[edit] Major revamp

I have been attempting a major restructuring of the article to comply with WikiProject Aircraft page content guidelines. These changes include:

1. Adding the {{Infobox Aircraft}} template; still needs dates added. This replaced the old specs infobox, which is now under the Specifications section for info purposes.
2. Added the current {{Aircraft specifications}} template to replace the old text-only template, which is also still included on the page. Data needs to be added to the new template, which can be copied from the old one. The old ones will be removed once the new specs are completed. Will probably split the History section into Development and Service, or something like that, after adding more info.
3. Add more info on service of the pre-ASW models (HH and UH) covering the 1960s in more detail. I do not currently have a detailed source, so it may be awhile on this one.
4. Add more info on the upgrade and use of the SH-2G. Article currently makes it seem as the SH-2F was the last variant in USN service.
5. Add information on Egypt's use of the type. Please don't delete its sub-heading at this time.
6. The text still may have errors/typos; I am correcting them as I find them, but some areas will need a major rewrite.

This is just a plan, so I welcome any other suggestions for improvement.

Any assistance is welcome, but please don't undo a major change without discussing it here first. If you know how to hide the old specs while leaving them in the article, that would be fine. Thanks. -- BillCJ 17:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
