I just saw this on my local news that
a MH-53 Sea Dragon helicopter from Naval 
Station Norfolk-based Squadron HM-14(Helicopter 
Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14,the Vanguard)
made a precautionary emergency landing due
to a possible hydraulic fuel leak the helo
landed safely and the crew walked away.It
landed at the Cherrystone Family Camping Resort
on the Eastern Shore in Cheriton,Virginia see link
below for a small map showing the location of the
campgroun which is located north of the Chesapeake 
Bay Bridge tunnels.They were involved in routine
training exercises at the time of the mishap and a 
maintenance crew was sent to fix the problem
so the helo can be flown back to Nas Norfolk
