I use @funkyfranky script for having a rescue helo near the carrier .. works perfectly, even on the latest DCS:

 

 

Here with the forrestal:

 

The script to enable this Helo is very short:

-- Rescue Helo @ Forrestal
RescueHeloForrestal=RESCUEHELO:New("Forrestal", "Forrestal Rescue Helo")
RescueHeloForrestal:SetTakeoffAir()   -- Helo will be spawned and respawn in air.
RescueHeloForrestal:Start()

Afaik the carrier should be the first unit in the ship group.

A helo needs to have a task to follow the carrier. Set the unit to follow (carrier) and 3 parameters: 1. lateral placement 2. longitudinal placement 3. altitude. 1 & 2 can be negative as 0 is the center position.

That's a no mod, no script setup.
