212's in the US Military were used primarly by the Marines for troop transports. They were favored by the Marines over the original Huey for the twin engine design for over water safety. Infact I think they may have been disigned with this concept in mind. (im sure some one here will correct me if Im wrong. The USAF also used the 212's for CSAR, Missle Base defense, and some other utility work. ASW is/has been done by SH-60 Seahawks, SH-3 Seakings, and SH-2 Seasprites
