Not unless the helicopters are carrying ASW torpedoes. ASW = anti-submarine warfare.

I fail to see how a helicopter carrier is supposed to be such a great asset in the kind of war this is shaping up to be. In a boots-on-the-ground war, yes, but I rather doubt that is what the allied planners have in mind.

As a former submariner...our greatest fear was getting detected and helos with sonobouys triangulating your position...You would be screwed.
