Second F/A-18 Super Hornet Lost From USS Truman in Red Sea Within a Week
- On Tuesday, an F/A-18 Super Hornet with two pilots went overboard during landing on the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea, with pilots ejecting safely.
- This incident followed a period of persistent missile and drone attacks by Houthis on over 100 merchant vessels in the Red Sea from November 2023 to January 2025.
- The USS Truman, crucial for U.S. airstrikes against Houthi rebels, suffered the mishap as Houthis paused a self-imposed ceasefire following a U.S. broad assault in mid-March.
- The F/A-18, valued at about $60 million, had a failed arrestment on landing, and both pilots were rescued with minor injuries; no flight deck personnel were hurt.
- The Houthis' attacks greatly reduced trade flow through the $1 trillion annual Red Sea corridor, and a ceasefire was announced by U.S. and Omani officials though the rebels did not immediately confirm it.
