The RSAF’s Peace Triton detachment was inaugurated in San Diego, enhancing naval helicopter operations with US Navy expertise.

The RSAF’s Peace Triton naval helicopter detachment, which operated the S-70B Seahawks, held its inauguration ceremony at the United States Navy's Helicopter Maritime Strike Weapons School in San Diego on 16 November 2009. Comprising personnel from both the Air Force and Navy, the detachment was designed to tap the school's and US Paci­fic Fleet’s experience in naval helicopter operations.
