Truman (CVN 75), according to multiple defense sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The incident reportedly occurred shortly before 21:00 local time after the jet missed the arresting wires used to bring landing aircraft to a halt on the carrier deck. While it is unclear whether the aircraft\u2019s tailhook missed the wires or a wire failed, the aircraft did not catch successfully and was lost overboard before a go-around could be executed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both the pilot and the weapons systems officer (WSO) ejected safely before the aircraft hit the water. They were recovered by an MH-60S Seahawk helicopter from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 11 (HSC-11) and later evaluated by medical personnel. According to US officials speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2025\/05\/06\/super-hornet-goes-overboard-during-failed-landing-on-uss-harry-s-truman-crew-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USNI News<\/a>, both sustained minor injuries.

Truman has been deployed since December 15, 2024, conducting maritime operations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea regions as part of Operation Rough Rider, the ongoing US air campaign against Houthi forces in Yemen. This campaign aims to deter attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes and US naval assets by targeting missile launch sites, drone storage areas, and command centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This incident is the latest in a string of aviation mishaps during the USS Truman\u2019s ongoing deployment, which has faced multiple operational challenges since it began. Since December 2024, three Super Hornets have been lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On April 28, 2025, a single-seat F\/A-18E Super Hornet from VFA-136 \u201cKnighthawks\u201d and its tow tractor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/us-navy-fa18e-overboard-truman-red-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">were lost overboard while being moved to an elevator<\/a>. That incident reportedly occurred during a sharp evasive maneuver by the ship in response to a missile threat from Houthi militants in the Red Sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-2\"\/>\n<p>Earlier, on February 13, 2025, the USS Truman collided with the Panamanian-flagged bulk carrier Besiktas-M in the Mediterranean Sea. The collision caused damage to the hull plating near elevator No. 3, requiring repairs in Greece.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On December 22, 2024, the guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64), a part of the Truman Carrier Strike Group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/us-navy-shot-down-red-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accidentally shot down a two-seat F\/A-18F in an apparent friendly fire incident<\/a>. Both aviators survived after ejecting. Reports later suggested another Super Hornet may also have been mistakenly targeted during the same engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The USS Harry S. Truman has been deployed since December 15, 2024, conducting maritime operations in the Mediterranean and Red Sea regions. It is accompanied by the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Gettysburg and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Stout (DDG 55) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109).\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-leaderboard bn-3\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A US Navy F\/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 11 (VFA-11 \u201cRed Rippers\u201d) fell into the sea on April 6, 2025, during a failed night landing attempt on the USS Harry S.
