avaistar.org or GOOGLE virtual helicopter museum and follow the links, the SEASPRITE should be #231 under U.S. helicopters. Then go to aerofiles and look around there.

Talk about a stealth helicopter...not much written on it (although there might be a new book, I think I saw one listed in a aviation catalog)...and unless you're near a Navy base, probably haven't seen one.
I don't recall seeing one myself.
I'm partial to the early single-engine models, a nice looking ship.

Do a GOOOGLE on "SH-2 Kaman"...Lots of sites, photos, etc., both US, Australian, and NZ.

Thank you all :) I find that there is great number of interesting images on Flickr and data could be found. To regret there is no very detailed technical drawings, I have one scan of the general layout.

Cheers :)

The old Air Enthuiast magazine in the April, 1973 had a nice piece when the helicopter was being modified for LAMPS duties. No cutaway (which the magazine often had back then) thought.
