Carrier Air Wing One aboard the USS Harry S Truman has lost another Super Hornet. Navy officials confirmed that about 9 PM Red Sea time on May 6 an F/A-18F, the two-seat model of the Super Hornet, assigned to VFA-11 The Red Rippers, had what they described as a failed arrestment during nighttime flight operations. The pilot and weapons system officer successfully ejected and suffered only minor injuries. The Super Hornet was lost over the side of the carrier and sunk into the sea.
