Sonobouy tubes, starboard side, looking forward. Also not the UHF blade antenna and the "Bear Trap" retactable capture
point. The idea of the Canadian-designed "Bear Trap" ship-board landing assist system. is that the trap probe is lowered
from the hovering helicopter, secured in the flight-deck mounted "trap" by a deck-hand, then the helicopter is simply hauled
down to the deck. A landing is affected, regardless of the pitching deck. The trap (with the Sea King secured) is run along
the embeded rails, taking the Sea King into the ship's hanger.
