Another 🇺🇸 US F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week during attack by the Houthis, five people familiar with the matter told CNN.

It is not entirely clear what happened yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrestment failure as the jet was trying to land on the carrier and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were recovered by a rescue helicopter and are both alive, but they suffered minor injuries, one of the people said.

The jet crashed into the sea and has not been recovered, two of the people familiar with the incident said.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, four of the people said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense referred all questions about the incidents to the Navy and US Central Command. CNN has reached out to the Navy and CENTCOM for comment.

The loss of the fighter jet comes one week after another F/A-18 jet fell overboard the Truman. That time, initial reports indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

An individual F/A-18 fighter jet costs more than $60 million, according to the Navy.

US Naval assets in the Red Sea have repeatedly come under Houthi fire since the Houthis began their attacks against Red Sea shipping in November 2023. In early 2024, a US destroyer in the Red Sea had to use its Phalanx Close-In Weapon System, its last line of defense to missile attacks, when a Houthi-fired cruise missile got as near as a mile away – and therefore seconds from impact.

The Truman aircraft carrier in particular, though, has been plagued with problems as part of its Red Sea deployment. In December, another F/A-18 fighter jet was operating from the Truman when it was “mistakenly fired” upon by the USS Gettysburg and crashed into the Red Sea. Both aviators ejected safely at the time.

Then, in February, the Truman was involved in a collision with a merchant ship near Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea. Following the incident, the commander of the Truman at the time, Captain Dave Snowden, was relieved of duty.

Captain Christopher Hill took command of the carrier shortly thereafter.

👍🏻 Like for Houthis, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍

By "crash" they mean shot down by the Houthis.

The Houthis have turned 3 US F-18 fighter jets into submarines chilling at the bottom of the Red Sea.

They have also shot down over 24 US MQ-9 Reaper Drones and have hit US aircraft carriers twice now. For a ragtag rebel group without an airforce or navy that's super impressive.

This is why Trump is now suing for a cease-fire. Even though the Houthis have denied ever brokering a peace deal with the US.

The US have finally met their match.

How has that stopped US-Isreal from beating Houtis to surrender? Is it today just heard about crashing? So far no human life is lost, they have the money and technology to get replacement instantly. We thought the soldiers of Allah are not used to surrender, but when the beating was too much; they left Allah ran to call US to surrender

There's not a single statement anywhere from the Houthis that says that they surrender.

Donald Trump is just peddling false information as usual to feed the US ego.

Infact after he said that, the Houthis denied they even had any conversation with the US. Which is true.

ThankGod no Casualty

Badr Albusaidi the Omani foreign minister posted this in X:

Following recent discussions and s conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana'a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides.

In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping.

The Sultanate of Oman expresses its gratitude to both parties for their constructive approach that led to this welcome outcome, and hopes that it will lead to further progress on many regional issues towards achieving justice, peace, and prosperity for all.

Even your Aljazeera known as terrorist sympathizer carried the news. And well known Omah that witnessed that affirms to that:

You can keep deceiving yourself as usual

US is still in the 90s according to a retired US General, those large aircraft carriers are sitting ducks for countries like Russia in any real war, imagine what Houthis did to US carriers with drone swarms and missiles.
The drones cost less than $10k but they need missiles costing millions of dollars to shoot them down, meanwhile Shipping companies have abandoned the red sea at huge extra costs to go around Cape of Good Hope around Africa.
Its obvious that US lost to Houthis and has to call for ceasefire through Oman. Meanwhile Ships going to Israel will still face threats

Nothing so far suggest the Houthis TERRORISTS are responsible for the US Jet accident Early this morning in the red sea.

Self delusion and lies make them high.

Please, allow him continue in his profound highness.

Houthis will never surrender, Trump is just capping bullshit. Houthis are hitting and shooting down any drones or ships on the red sea that belong to the US, UK and Isreal. They are very powerful in that zone, the red sea territory belongs to them. Trump has to call for dialogue, otherwise, western carriers along the coast will continue to be in trouble.These guys are stronger than Hamas or Hezbollah, Iran is really funding them big.

Omo that red sea don collect many things from humanity.well congratulation to Marine world .

When the game begins now, you will start shouting Genocide, innocent kids and women, UN, etc.
I don't know when you guys will realize that all the Arab leagues combine is no match for Israel, Trying to challenge Us is a suicide mission.

The saving grace for the Houthis, Hamas and hezbo is because the west and Israel value human lives, if they are as barbaric as their enemies. We won't even be having this topic, because they would have long be extinguished.

In the IDF strike at port senaa, they have to issue a warning for civilians to evacuate the premises. Just imagine Israel sending 300 missiles into Yemen with or without warning. They will be no Houthis left. Just imagine Israel sending suicide drones everyday into Yemen.
You guys keep cheering this monsters, yet cry genocide when IDF returns 1% of their madness.

The Houthies will still be destroyed and wiped out completely
