1. Does the same helicopter(s), talking about SH-60B/MH-60Rs, remain embarked on the same ship (FFG/DDG/CG) for the duration of their cruise? Most of the time?

Example: Did HSL-48 Detachment One, SH-60B, serial 163234, stay on the USS Forrest Sherman for it's entire 2012 cruise?

2. How many helicopters do they (later Arleigh Burkes and Ticos) most often sail with 0,1, or 2?

Neither question probably doesn't have a definitive answer, just curious on some input.
