The Swedish Armed Forces' Helikopterflottiljen has deployed two naval versions of the Agusta A109E LUH (designated Hkp15B in Swedish service) as part of the country's contribution to the European Union's Atalanta anti-piracy operation off the Somalian coast in the Gulf of Aden. The Swedish contingent, comprising around 70 personnel and including two Stridsbat 90H combat boats, operates from the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) HNLMS Johan de Witt landing platform dock vessel, which left Den Helder harbour on January 24. The Hkp15Bs involved, 15038/'38' (c 13768) and 15039/'39' (c 13769), are used by Ronneby-based 3 Helikopterskvadronen. They arrived at Maritime Air Station (MAS) De Kooy near Den Helder on January 14. Shortly after the Johan de Witt set off, Dutch Defence Helicopter Command/860 Squadron NH90 NFH N277 (c 1277/NNLN012) also embarked on the ship. The three helicopters and the ship will return to the Netherlands on May 29.
