The mission mentioned in the article is sea control, especially escorting

convoys, mainly against submarine attacks. The planned mission profile

is shown in the diagram, actually it's a kind of "sprint-and-drift". The

Seastar is said to have been able to land and take-off up to a seastate 5.

What I'm really missing is a dedicated ASW weapon, but the heli surely

woud have carried ASW torpedoes and the Seastar itself was mainly

meant as a sensorplatform.
