US Navy Aviators Eject During Mishap on USS Eisenhower
On Monday evening, two US Navy aviators ejected from their aircraft while attempting to land aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off the Virginia coast. The Navy classified the event as a "mishap" occurring during aircraft recovery operations on the nuclear-powered carrier.
The aviators, members of Carrier Air Wing 3, were successfully rescued by search and rescue personnel and returned to the ship for medical evaluation. Four other personnel aboard the aircraft carrier sustained injuries and received medical attention, with one being transported to a hospital in the Norfolk, Virginia area for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The Navy did not disclose the type of aircraft involved or the specifics of the mishap. They stated that carrier crews regularly train for emergencies, which enabled a quick and safe response to the situation.
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commissioned in 1977.
