US Navy Shoots Down Its Own F/A-18 In Red Sea Fight

Handout photo dated November 1, 2023 shows F/A-18 Super Hornets from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 taxi the flight deck of the world’s largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN) 78 in the Mediterranean Sea. A U.S. Navy cruiser shot down a Navy F/A-18 fighter jet over the Red Sea early Sunday morning, U.S. Central Command said. The F/A-18 was shot by weapons from the guided-missile cruiser the USS Gettysburg after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier on Dec. 22. Both Navy aviators were able to eject from the fighter jet and were recovered safely. One of the two sustained minor injuries, according to CENTCOM. The USS Gettysburg “mistakenly fired on” the F/A-18, CENTCOM said. The shoot down happened amid a weekend of military action against the Houthis, a militant Yemeni nationalist group that controls much of Yemen, including the capital. American and British aircraft have been bombing targets in Sana’a since Saturday. The incident is under investigation. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communicat
