Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron Five One (HSM-51), also known as “Warlords,” is a United States Navy helicopter squadron stationed at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, located in Ayase City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. HSM-51 is part of the Helicopter Maritime Strike Wing, Pacific Fleet, which consists of seven squadrons based in San Diego. The squadron regularly deploys on various ships within the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, primarily stationed in Yokosuka, Japan.

HSM-51 is a forward-deployed helicopter squadron of the U.S. Navy. They operate the Sikorsky MH-60R “Seahawk” helicopters and are based at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan. The squadron provides armed anti-surface and anti-submarine helicopter detachments to ships deployed in the Korean, Western Pacific, and Persian Gulf regions. They also support executive transport for the Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet, in Yokosuka, Japan. The HSM-51 recently transitioned from the SH-60B to the MH-60R, which offers improved capabilities. The MH-60R is equipped with a range of sensors, including low-frequency sonar, air-launched sonobuoys, surface search radar, an electronic support measures system, and a forward-looking infrared turret. It carries various weapons such as torpedoes (Mk 46, Mk 50, or Mk 54), Hellfire missiles (AGM-114), and a machine gun mounted on the cabin door.
