What We Know: Aircraft Overboard 
On July 8, an F/A-18 Super Hornet assigned to Carrier Air Wing 1 and embarked abroad the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier was blown overboard due to heavy seas caused by a storm in the Mediterranean Sea.
When the accident happened, the USS Truman was conducting a replenishment-at-sea operation (usually helicopters ferrying supplies to the aircraft carrier; smaller warships replenish by sailing next to the replenishment ship). And the F/A-18 Super Hornet must not have been secured down adequately.
One Sailor received minor injuries while conducting operations during the unexpected heavy weather. The Sailor is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery,” the Navy said in a press release, adding that “all personnel aboard the ship are accounted for.”
