Why this place is special
A helicopter adds a different purpose to the submarine, patrol aircraft and fighter stories nearby. Use the contrast to understand how different naval aircraft serve different needs.
The Indian Navy transferred a retired UH-3H for permanent display in Visakhapatnam. Its service included search-and-rescue and humanitarian operations; confirm the current museum visitor arrangements before planning entry.
Don't miss
- The helicopter's rotorcraft form
- Interpretation of rescue and humanitarian roles when displayed

Allow extra time for getting there, meals and queues. Confirm current access, opening hours and entry requirements before setting out.
