If I'm not mistaken, Andre's chopper pics are of the HH-60 naval version. There's usually a couple of these embarked with each carrier air wing on a cruise, and they specialise in special ops support and CSAR missions at sea and in littoral areas.

Outwardly similar to the MH-60 version, the HH-60 is based on the stronger Seahawk airframe and has 'navalized' engines, i.e. one's that are better able to handle salt spray and the increased humidity associated with carrier operations.
