Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 35 (HSM-35) will be established on July 1, 2012. It will carry on the traditions of Helicopter Anti-submarine Light Squadron 35 (HSL-35), known as the 'Magicians' until it was disbanded in 1992. The squadron will be based at NAS North Island, California and will supply detachments of MH-60Rs and MQ-8Bs to the Freedom-and Independence-class littoral combat ships as modules of the anti-submarine warfare mission packages on these vessels.
