A blogger said that while aircraft can go overboard during flight operations at sea, they should be secured during bad weather and shouldn't be blown off a carrier's deck.
An F/A-18 Super Hornet, one of the Navy's 4.5-generation fighters,"blew overboard" as aircraft carrier USSwas conducting a resupply operation, known as a"replenishment-at-sea," which was"safely terminated," according to the July 10 press release from United States Naval Forces Europe-Africa.
One sailor also received minor injuries during the adverse weather event, but was"in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery," the statement said. The incident was not related to the F/A-18's mishap, U.S. Sixth Fleet spokesperson Cmdr. Richlyn Ivey told the military newspaperand embarked aircraft remain full mission capable. Details and the cause of the incident are under investigation," the Navy said.
An F/A-18E Super Hornet lands on the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Ionian Sea on March 8, 2022. The U.S. Navy said an F/A-18 fighter aircraft was blown overboard from the Harry S. Truman into the Mediterranean Sea during “unexpected heavy weather” on July 8.The multi-million dollar jet was part of Carrier Air Wing One, which has been deployed with theHarry S.
