Uh-oh. That can't be good when one doesn't have ALL the medical technology right at their fingertips.
Very hopeful this brave sailor pulls through and makes a full recovery. Hang in there.

LHD-3. Amphibious Assault ship. U.S. Marines, MV-22 complement, and a bunch of helicopters. Not as big as a CVN but big nontheless. Pretty good description on Wiki.

Why does it matter that it was a woman sailor.

OK, my question is, what is a female sailor doing on a warship in the first place?

Rhetorical question.

Served on aa LHA which these ships replaced.....she likely fell 20 to 40 feet. They have cargo, ammunition as well as Aircraft elevators. All ships are industrial environments full of hazards. Prayers
