	Sea Kings
		The Canadian Navy pioneered the use of such a large helicopter from the deck of small destroyers, and all destroyers were fitted with the new Beartrap helicopter haul-down device (the USN eventually adopted this equipment as the RAST).
		Sea Kings have been the workhorses of the fleet for over 40 years now, and have delivered excellent service for a large portion of that time.
		However, the sonar system is antiquated, and the Sea Kings are now somewhat of a weak link for the warships that carry them (in addition to their increasing unreliability).

	That Which Has Fallen
		But Leviathan was only associated with the sea in some versions of the myth, while in others his place was in âthe outer darkness.â Such seeming contradictions dissolve when you realize that for the ancients, the sea and the heavens were often conceptualized as one and the same.
		While looking up the Merovingian kings Dagobert I and II in an encyclopedia one day, we had noticed that their entries were placed right next to that of âDagonâ, a sea god worshipped in the ancient world, and mentioned in the Bible as the patron deity of the Philistines.
		All of which leads one to wonder why a king considered one of the ancient worldâs the most illustrious leaders would have served as the prototype of the Old Testamentâs primordial rebel, or why his story was preserved in the villainous biblical figure of Nimrod.
