While the dutch have used both helicopters (one being "MOC", the other one "FOC") from ships, the italians have mainly used theirs from onshore bases..

Both dutch helicopters flew about 250 hours in maritime environment….
"Heavy corrosion" after 250 flight hours?
Come on!
Itīs a piece of sh*#*-and an expensive one!
