Some more details now about the Merlin Mk4 helicopter, which is the model the British Navy says ditched last night during training exercises.
The Royal Air Force (RAF) handed 25 helicopters to the Royal Navy in 2016.
The helicopters served in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan where they were used to transport troops, supplies and civilians. The fleet was then sent to the Navy to replace its Sea King fleet.
The Royal Navy has two types of Merlin helicopters: the mark-2
(Mk2) and the mark-4 (Mk4).
The Mk2 is primarily an anti-submarine warfare, according to the
Royal Navy, but can also be used for search and rescue operations, cargo
transfers and maritime patrol, while the Mk4 features several modifications for
use by the Royal Marines.
The Merlin helicopter can fly at a speed of 160 knots (184mph/296km/h) and travel
750 nautical miles.
