Seven injured no deaths reported. We have a grandson serving on the Carl Vinson. We are hoping and praying he wasn't involved. Navy fighter jet crashes during carrier landing in South China Sea
Yeah I send Collin a care package every now and then full of candy and snacks he can't get on ship. It takes a few weeks for them to get to him but he appreciates it.
I guess the F-35C is the Navy's most advanced fighter so they are going to try to recover it from the bottom of the China Sea......Sure hope the Chinese don't object. F-35 that crashed into the carrier Carl Vinson’s deck fell into the South China Sea
Am sure there will be a US 'Science Ship' out there soon to do some 'science' aka retrieving the F-35C.
Having worked on military bases in the past it is distressing to hear of a mishap like this. Best wishes for a full recovery for those who were injured and thankfully no fatalities. I'm sure their families stateside are worried sick.
Hope all is well and there are no casualties. I was on CVN-71 - The Theodore Roosevelt or better known by her crew as the "Big Stick" The flight deck crew is very well trained - I'm not surprised that there were no casualties. It looks like chaos sometimes but they all know exactly what they are doing.
Yeah I just read where this is the 5th major incident on the Carl Vinson in the last 2 months......Makes me wonder Collin was a little screw up when he was growing up, sure hope he isn't behind all these mishaps. LOL
This caught my interest because I thought it was about the F-35 I posted about in January. Pretty amazing they recovered the Jet from the Harry S Truman from almost 2 miles deep, then they mentioned the one lost off the Carl Vinson in January was recovered from almost 3 miles deep. Good job but damn it boys don't you think you can quit losing our jets overboard? Navy Recovers F/A-18E Super Hornet Blown off Deck of USS Harry S. Truman - USNI News
