The USS Harry S. Truman had turned sharply to evade a Houthi attack in the Red Sea when the F/A-18E Super Hornet fell overboard and was lost, a U.S. official said.

An F/A-18E fighter jet rolled off the side an aircraft carrier and sank to the bottom of the Red Sea, the Navy announced on Monday. There was one enlisted crew member aboard the jet and a second enlisted crew member inside the tractor when the incident occurred.
