The HH-3 is a modified version of the CH-3C "Jolly Green Giant." In 1965, the U.S. Coast Guard ordered a version of the HH-3 named the Pelican. Apart from a lack or armament, the ship was identical to the CH-3C. It featured all-weather capability, search radar and could land on water making it ideal for Coast Guard search and rescue missions.
