whats the difference between HH47 & CH47????

HH47 never built till now as per wiki
On 9 November 2006, the HH-47, a new variant of the Chinook based on the MH-47G, was selected by the US Air Force as the winner of the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR-X) competition. Four development HH-47s were to be built, with the first of 141 production aircraft planned to enter service in 2012.[69][70] However, in February 2007 the contract award was protested and the GAO ordered the CSAR-X project to be re-bid.[71] In February 2010, the US Air Force announced plans to replace aging HH-60G helicopters. The Air Force is deferring secondary combat search and rescue requirements that called for a larger helicopter.[72][73]
