 Talk:CH-53E Super Stallion - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
One approach would be to put everything under a single article Sikorsky S-65 and have the various versions in sections; however, nobody actually uses "S-65", and this is confusing for the stats table.
Since the Sea Stallion and Super Stallion are rather different, I suggest handling this with two articles CH-53 Sea Stallion and CH-53E Super Stallion and arranging all the redirs appropriately, with original S-65 airframe/design info/links going to the "Sea Stallion" version, since that's more of a historical than current interest.
The two articles exist now, but I'll wait to tinker with redirs and content until other people have a chance to weigh in.
