HSL-37 was established on 3 July 1975 at Naval Air Station Barbers Point. It became the first U.S. Navy squadron to transition from the SH-2F Seasprite to the SH-60B Seahawk on 6 February 1992.[1] The squadron moved from NAS Barbers Point to Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kāneʻohe Bay in February 1999.[2] It was redesignated HSM-37 on 1 October 2013 as it began to transition from the SH-60B Seahawk to the MH-60R Seahawk.[1] The first four MH-60Rs were delivered in September 2013.[3] Its last SH-60B was retired on 3 February 2015.[1]
HSM-37 is currently the largest expeditionary helicopter squadron in the U.S. Navy, operating fifteen MH-60R Seahawks for deployment on destroyers or cruisers.[4]
