The US Navy fished a sunken F/A-18 Super Hornet out of the sea after the fighter jet blew off an aircraft carrier in rough weather

The US Navy said Monday that it recently recovered a sunken F/A-18E Super Hornet that blew off the deck of an aircraft carrier and into the Mediterranean Sea last month.

The Navy said in a statement that it "successfully recovered" the aircraft last week from a depth of around 9,500 feet.

A team aboard the multi-purpose construction ship Everest used a remote-operated vehicle to attach rigging and lift lines to the jet before using a lifting hook to fish the aircraft from the water and onto the Everest, the Navy said.

What is Going on With Shipping?
1 Out of 5 Ships in The US Navy Does Not Have Sailors Aboard...Instead, They Have Merchant Mariners!
August 5, 2022
In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - former merchant mariner and maritime historian at Campbell University - discusses the policy of the US Navy to crew 20% of its battle force, specifically auxiliary ships, with merchant mariners. The issues raised by the policy involve readiness, leadership, leave, and the status of merchant mariners as 2nd class sailors. These issues pose a severe threat to the US Navy and merchant marine.
