A US #Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet has been “lost” at sea after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier while it was being towed on board, the Navy said in a statement on Monday.

A US official said initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a “hard turn” [seriously? an aircraft carrier?] to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.
