  • The Portuguese Naval Aviation () is the naval air component of the Portuguese Navy, officially designated as Esquadrilha de Helicópteros da Marinha (EHM), responsible for the operation of the aircraft on board their ships. It is more commonly known as Naval Aviation as it received various official designations throughout its service and its origins date back to 1917, when it was created has the air branch of the Navy. The service was then disbanded and integrated into the Portuguese Air Force (PoAF), upon the creation of this new branch in 1952, having been reactivated in its current form in 1993 to operate the Navy's new shipborne helicopters entering service with the Vasco da Gama frigates.
