Five sailors are facing charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for their alleged roles in the leak of footage showing an F-35C Lightning II crashing on the flight deck of USS Carl Vinson last month.
The sailors facing charges include a Senior Chief, three Chiefs and a Junior Officer, according to Navy spokesperson Cmdr. Zach Harrell.
"There is an ongoing investigation into the crash. The investigation into the unauthorized release of the shipboard video footage has concluded; one U.S. Navy O-1 [Ensign], one E-8 [Senior Chief Petty Officer], and three E-7s [Chief Petty Officer] have been charged under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice," Harrell said.
The footage first appeared on social media in early February, and it was verified by the Navy last week. One video posted on Twitter shows the vantage points of two flight deck cameras. The first is a deck-level camera that shows the jet approaching and then bottoming out on the deck. Debris flies, the jet tilts upward on its nose and slides across the flight deck past the camera.
