Consolation (AH-15) sits at anchor as a Sikorski H-5 helicopter of the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron approaches the ship's newly-installed helicopter deck, circa December 1951. The helo was carrying litter patients on the last leg of an operation in which 37 wounded American and South Korean Marines were evacuated from an airstrip in north central Korea.
