There is a paragraph that has been commented out in the main article, that reads, in part:
:''...the S-92 Superhawk is an obvious choice for the Canadian Air Commands deployements aboard Canadian Naval ships especially the fact that the S-92`s cabin is high enough for the crew members to stand upright (a luxury on long missions) unlike the EH-101.

Well, both the EH-101 and the S-92 have cabins tall enough for the crew to walk upright. This was a '''''requirement''''' of the helicopters to be considered for selection. It is the H-60 Seahawk that lacks a cabin large enough to walk around. If it is an official requirement, it is not a luxury. -- [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] 21:32, 2005 Feb 28 (UTC)
