A U.S. Navy fighter jet went down in the Red Sea on Tuesday following a failed landing attempt on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, according to sources within the U.S. military. This is the second incident involving a fighter jet falling into the sea from the Truman in the past eight days.
The incident occurred during routine flight operations. The cause of the landing failure is currently under investigation. Navy officials have confirmed that no personnel were injured as a result of the crash. The USS Harry S. Truman is continuing its mission in the region.
Details surrounding the specific type of fighter jet involved and the extent of the damage are still being assessed. The Navy has not yet released further information pending the outcome of the investigation. Previous incidents involving aircraft carriers often lead to temporary suspensions of flight operations while safety protocols are reviewed. However, the Truman appears to be continuing its operations, suggesting the issue may be isolated. The Navy will likely provide updates as the investigation progresses.
