The Kaman SH-2 Seasprite is an American ship-based helicopter developed by Kaman Aircraft Corporation, primarily used for anti-submarine warfare and utility missions. First entering service in the 1960s, the SH-2 was designed to operate from smaller warships and fulfill a variety of naval roles.

Known for its compact design and unique rotor system, which employed Kaman's intermeshing rotor configuration, the Seasprite was capable of stable operations in adverse maritime conditions. It was equipped with advanced sensors, torpedoes, and anti-ship missiles for its primary anti-submarine role. The helicopter also saw service in search and rescue, transport, and surveillance capacities. The SH-2G Super Seasprite, a significantly upgraded version, featured modern avionics and enhanced performance capabilities. The Kaman SH-2 Seasprite's operational history with the United States Navy and various other naval forces worldwide, along with its specialized design for naval operations, make it a subject of great interest for military aviation enthusiasts and model collectors, particularly those with a focus on naval aviation and helicopter development.
