It has been reported that a Super Hornet F/A-18 combat plane was lost in the sea after it fell down the board while it was “actively made by Hang Bay” in the USS Harry S. Truman.
In a press release from the Marine Chief of Information Chief, it was revealed that, in addition to losing the Super Hornet F/A-18 combat plane, a “towing tractor” was also lost, since the aircraft carrier was operating in the Red Sea.
It was reported that the movement team had “lost control of the aircraft.”
“The USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) lost a Super Hornet F/A-18E assigned to the Fighter Strike Fighter (VFA) 136 squad and a trailer tractor when the aircraft carrier operated in the Red Sea, on April 28,” said the press release. “All personnel are taken into account, with a sailor suffering a minor injury.”
CNN reported Monday:
An American official said that the initial reports of the scene indicated that the Truman made a difficult turn to evade Houthi’s fire, which contributed to the combat plane from felling down. The Houthi Rebel Group said Monday to have relaunched an attack with unmanned planes and missiles against the aircraft carrier, which is located in the Red Sea as part of the main anti-Woodhi operation of the US army.
An American official told the exit that the combat plane “had sunk.”
At the beginning of April, President Donald Trump published a video on social networks that showed an American military strike over the huti rebels backed by Iran who were attacked to US ships in the Red Sea.
According to Breitbart News:
Since 2023, the hutis have triggered the United States warships at least 174 times and commercial vessels at least 145 times on the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Adén, according to the White House.
In February, it was reported that the USS Harry S. Truman was involved in a collision with a “merchant ship” while operating in the Mediterranean Sea.
Breitbart News communicated with the central command of the US Naval Forces for a statement, but did not receive an answer for the time of publication.
