Something tells me this is SOP when the Sea Kings are operating. Kind of sad.

It's got nothing to do with the helo being a Sea King. Flying stations are conducted on all Canadian Warships and include closing up Damage Control teams with enhanced firefighting capabilities.
That being said, chances of a Sea King crapping out while in the hover is probably greater than say, a Commorant.

Fair enough, that does make sense. It just strikes me as odd that they would choose to mention it when the main helo in the article was a Sea King. Its not like we tell people how many fire extinguishers are in a LAV when it rolls out.

It isn't that odd when you consider that most journalists today are more concerned with sensationalism and inuendo rather than fact.
But on the same vein, they could have really gone overboard and said the ship closed up flying stations, damage control teams and cleared the fwd area of the ship where the transfer with a "sea king" took place.
To the uninitiated, that would have looked alot worse than saying something about a fire hose, even though it's SOP's for a helo transfer at sea.
