Another multimillion-dollar F/A-18 Super Hornet has been lost from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, marking the second such catastrophic incident in barely a week.

According to multiple sources speaking to CNN, the latest jet went down in the Red Sea following what appears to be an arresting gear malfunction during landing.

The pilot and weapons systems officer were forced to eject and were later rescued, suffering only minor injuries. But the jet, valued at over $60 million, now rests on the ocean floor — unrecovered and unrecoverable.

This isn’t an isolated incident. Just last week, another F/A-18 fighter jet fell overboard from the Truman after a “hard turn” to allegedly dodge Iranian-backed Houthi missile fire. That’s two high-tech war machines gone in a matter of days.

I remember a Naval Aviator on a show on Military Channel, History, Discovery or another of those type channels describing a Carrier landing as putting a postage stamp on your living room floor and then leaping towards the stamp and try to lick the stamp on the first try.

Then He added "now try it again with your eyes closed. That would be a Night Landing."

Very Hazardous place to be on Deck for sure.
