Known as MH (mine hunter)-60S

LCS-2 Independence commissioning to include display of high-tech equipment, Kaija Wilkinson, Press-Register, January 12, 2010
A helicopter outfitted with a console that allows Independence to hunt mines and perform tasks such as search and rescue touched down this morning. Known as MH (mine hunter)-60S, the Knighthawk helicopter is the Navy's newest, entering service in February 2002.


It's more like "Maritime Helicopter" and very few Knighthawks are used for mine hunting.
