The F/A-18 tried landing on the USS Harry S. Truman but went overboard after the arrestment failed, a defense official said.

The U.S. Navy lost a fighter jet on Tuesday when it went overboard into the Red Sea and two aviators safely ejected from the aircraft, officials said.

Another 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, four people familiar with the matter told CNN.
