Empty weight

The "empty weight" figures are wrong (14500lb != 4420kg) but I don't know which figure (if either) is correct. 195.195.244.154 12:56, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Article improvement

Does anybody know of missing info from this article? The new MH-60T upgrade is mentioned. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Shouldnt be a MH-60J (HH-60j modified) in variants ? --Jor70 (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

No, the HH-60Js are modified and redesignated MH-60T. This is mentioned in the article and in Coast Guard references (ref. 5, 6). -Fnlayson (talk) 14:42, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The MH-60T is just the much recent upgrade. You can find USCG MH-60J mentioned in lots of DoD pages [1] [2] [3] [4] etc --Jor70 (talk) 15:09, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I haven't seen that in my H-60 books. Possible mistake/typo?? The M modifier is generally for special operations versions per the Tri-service designation system. -Fnlayson (talk) 15:15, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but if was also used by the USCG since the MH-68 and with the MH-65C/D which replaced them. Also is highly strange many diff DoD organisations made the same typo. This even seems to be an operational manual [5] , although it is also bit confuse about distinguish between USN/USCG --Jor70 (talk) 15:28, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

No idea. Maybe there was a MH-60 to HH-60 switch or vice versa at some point. I'll do some digging of my own... -Fnlayson (talk) 16:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
